Come join the circle and witness the magic   Hear the voices   Believe and imagine   Hear the voices      Come join the circle and feel the unspoken   Hear the voices   A spirit unbroken   Hear the voices      Just a simple storyteller   Troubadour on call whenever   The gods moved his heart to speech   He was something of a hero   To the conscience of the people   To the children on the beach   Son of Africa and legend   Music made of pain and pleasure   Brought the nation to its feet   Every whisper sounds like thunder   Everybody stares in wonder   When the saints begin to speak   He sings and then they speak      Come join the circle and witness the magic   Hear the voices   Believe and imagine   Hear the voices      Come join the circle and feel the unspoken   Hear the voices   A spirit unbroken   Hear the voices      He was sentenced into exile   Far away from home but meanwhile   Popularity increased    Radio reversed his fortune   He was welcomed with emotion   A voice no one could defeat   Now they crank up the Victrola   In the corner bars and oh, my,    How the ladies start to weep   Every word describes their hunger   Everybody stares in wonder   When the saints begin to speak   He sings and then they speak
