Old twinkling there
Can't see the right roads, when the streets are bend
The old slaveman, might grind slow, but it grinds fine, yeah
African herbman, why linger on, just concentrate, 'cause heaven lives on
Retired slaveman, will look with a scorn, with a transplanted heart
   [guess how quick they had to part, guess how quick they had to part]
The remebrance of today, is the sad feeling of tomorrow, oh [guess how
  quick they had to part] oh yeah
African herbman, seize your time, I'm taking illusion on the edge of my mind
I'm taking loses down through my life, down through my life [guess how
   quick they had to part, guess how quick they had to part]
Did they part, yes they part
In remembrance of today [guess how quick they had to part]
African herbman, why linger on, just concentrate 'cause your heaven
lives on
Retired slaveman, will look with a scorn
With a transplanted heart [guess how quick they had to part, guess how
   quick they had to part]
In remembrance of today, brings sad feelings of tommorrow [guess how
   quick they had to part]
But lead me on, oh lord I pray
[African herbman, African herbman, African herbman] African herbman
African herb...
