Soul Town

Music: Ola Onabule Where you gonna go, now that Soul Town’s gone How you gonna do, What ’has been so undone

Once you were hip, right at the tip The very essence of cool Street savvy and fly, Steel in your eye Thought you were nobody’s fool It’s why I wanna know

What you gonna say, when they talk it down That at the peak of it’s day It was nothing, nothing but a plain Jane town

You say Soul Town, Is the way it ‘s all meant to be And someday we’ll build it all again When we’ve had enough of this emptiness Far too much of this loneliness We’ll start afresh, raise it up, and grow

When you gonna see, that Soul Towns passed And all those beautiful people you used to know Well they ain’t so fast

You riding high, in infinite skies Just being that was your precious pearl With one dream in your hearts and faith in that dream You thought you’d be changing the world

You say Soul Town’s the prettiest place you knew And someday we’ll build it all again When we’ve had enough of this emptiness Far too much of this loneliness We’ll start afresh, raise it up, and grow

Where you gonna go, now that Soul Town’s gone How you gonna do, What ‘s been so undone

This! This ain’t nostalgia, This ain’t a love song I’m talking bout Soul Town, because Soul Town’s gone Those crazy clothes you used to wear, flowers in your hair And your peace signs everywhere, way on back in Soul Town Somebody tell me what happened to all those dreams of peace And understanding and harmony and brotherhood and love Being together for ever and ever Don’t it seem like Soul Town, Soul Town is gone This! This ain’t a love song This ain’t nostalgia Thus is a silly game we played with a game we loved Way on back in Soul Soul Soul Town
