Niassam

Alone in his seat, his scissors tickling his fingers

Cutting wax and motives and bringing them together to make a whole

Mamadou's dancing life, thinking 'bout the past, he regrets nothing (Regretting nothing)

Creating his world of peace, no focus for all the fighting

His kids running to the city

He don't understand

Watching him with pity

He's a fulfilled man (He's a fulfilled man, he's a fulfilled man)

He's a fulfilled man

Silly little feuds are saddening him more than usual

Impressions from the world weigh on his shoulders far more than before

Placing his head on a sharp needle

Could result less painful

His kids running to the city

He don't understand

Watching him with pity

He's a fulfilled man (He's a fulfilled man)

He's a fulfilled man

Someday he will try to fix it all

Sew it all together (Sew it all together)

Tryna change the weather

Born with faith in dancing and spirits all around him

Taking him to worship places

Well known faces above

Someday he will try to fix it all

Sew it all together

Tryna change the weather

Born with faith in dancing and spirits all around him

Taking him to worship places

Well known faces above

Threads and pins and needles all he needs to make amends
