Cairo Street Scenes Lyrics by The Lazours

0

I'm still praying, yes
But I've been praying less
I've been reading more
I've been meeting more people with ideas

A mural lays bare
What a song can make you feel
What a high def image shared can make real
And you have to deal with it
And you have to deal

I believe in God
I still believe
But when you see
You can't unsee

I saw the beauty in a cup of coffee
In a water pipe
The beauty in ripped jeans
Dirty sandals
Brown hair in the sunlight

The beauty in the buildings
Gathered by a river
To the sea
Against the open sky
But beauty isn't kind
It hides the truth of what's behind it

There's a vendor asking "will they take my stall?"
Before the midday call

It's not about the angle that makes her golden bangles shine
It's the wrist she adorns that's sore
From kneading the dough and whacking the wheat into dust

It's the line outside the bakery door
It's her neck the beads of sweat on her forehead
Bags laid out like corpses filled with wheat and sand
Loaves in her hand

A daughter hanging on her tattered shawl
Before the midday call

I hear the quiet in a shadow down a street
I hear the secrets on the street too narrow for the police
And children of seven or eight look older than me
Bodies missing parts
They sleep in peace on mats in the dust
While the students plan
We plan what we must

We paint another future on the wall
And tomorrow we could lose it all
Before the midday call

My religion is these images
My religion is when the shutter closes on hanging clothes in alleyways
My religion is the composition of it all

My vision is my call
My vision is my call
My vision is my call
Before the midday
Before the midday
Before the midday
