[Eb] [Ab] Joseph's face was black [Eb] as night, the pale yellow moon shone in his eyes.
[Bb] [Eb] His path [Bb] was marked by [Eb] the stars in the southern hemisphere,
and he walked his days under Africa's skies.
[Bb] [Eb] This is the story of how we begin to remember.
This is the powerful pulsing of love in the vein.
