lyrics

I'm a brazilian in Louisiana
Lost on my journey through the night
I light a candle to Yemanja
Ask her to guide my steps in light
I am a stranger in this land
I offer a white rose in her name
Color of light blue in my hand
And crystalline beads that bear her name

Deep in the bayou now I pray
That she is here by my side
Helping me navigate my way
Goddess please in my soul reside
Somehow I am not afraid
For I can hear familiar sounds
Drums that pulse music that sways
Could it be kindred spirits abound?

Similar rhythms fill the air
Just like the ones I heard at home
People that dance without a care
Suddenly I am not alone
Goddess you listened to this man
Helped me amid this human sea
You took me to the promised land
Led me to people just like me
