[Verse]
C F C/G G C F C/G G
Jo-oseph's face was black as night
C F C/G G | C F | C/G | G |
And the pale yellow moon shone in his eyes
C F C/G G C F C/G G
His path was marked by the stars in the southern hemisphere
C F C/G G | C F | C/G | G |
And he walked his days under African skies

This is the story of how we begin to remember
C F C/G G | C F | C/G | G |
This is the powerful pulsing of love in the vein
C F C/G G | C F | C/G | G |
After the dream of falling and calling your name out
C F C/G G | C F | C/G | G |
These are the roots of rhythm and the roots of rhythm remain

Mission mu--sic
C F C/G G | C F | C/G | G |
Was ringing 'round my nursery door
C F C/G G
I said take this child, Lord
C F C/G G
From Tucson, Arizona
C F C/G
Give her the wings to fly through harmony
G C F C/G G
And she won't bother you no more
[Chorus]
C F C/G G | C F | C/G | G |
This is the story of how we begin to remember

And he walked the length of his days under African skies
