Ola Onabule - Soul Town lyrics

rate me

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 aïnd 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
