Abbey Lincoln - Wholey Earth Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Oh, the wholly earth's a mural
Seen from way up high
Abstracted, natural, bas relief
Witnessed from the sky
Clouds are just a single shadow
Drifting, moving on the ground
Creating an illusion, as the world goes round

[Verse 2]
Places where the folks inhabit at a geometric grace
Circles sprout, sometimes triangle
Ooh, with lines in space
Water ways and craggy mountains
Seemingly reveal the plan
Just as if somebody drew it
With a great, big, giant hand

[Verse 3]
Life's a repetition, it's an action of repeat
Act of doing, act of saying
Something bitter, something sweet
Acts of lifе that keeps occurring
Ghosts appearing through the sound
Waving at us from a distance
Just thе whole world is round
And round, and round, and round...
Yes, the whole wide world is round

[Verse 4]
Generations generating, bring the people here en masse
Living in a world of everybody's second class
Forming, moving in a circle
Ghosts appearing through the sound
Waving at us from the distance
'Cause the whole wide world is round

And round, and round, and round...
Yes, the whole wide world is round

[Verse 5]
People leave the forest, leave our memory behind
A truth done, axis written, axis pressed up on our mind
Forming, moving in a circle
Ghosts appearing through the sound
Waving at us from the distance
'Cause the whole wide world is round

And round, and round, and round...
Yes, the whole wide world is round
