The Rhythm Changes - Kamasi Washington

Our minds, our bodies, our feelings

They change, they alter, they leave us

Somehow, no matter what happens

I’m here

The time, the season, the weather

The song, the music, the rhythm

It seems, no matter what happens

I’m here

Daylight seems bright because of night

It’s shade we need

So we can see

Our love, our beauty, our genius

Our work, our triumph, our glory

Won’t worry what happened before me

I’m here

Our minds, our bodies, our feelings

They change, they alter, they leave us

Somehow, no matter what happens

I’m here

The time, the season, the weather,

The song, the music, the rhythm,

It seems, no matter what happens

I’m here

Daylight seems bright because of night

The change we need

So we can see

Our love, our beauty, our genius

Our work, our triumph, our glory

Won’t worry what happened before me

I’m here

Our love, our beauty, our genius

Our worth, our triumph, our glory

Don’t worry what happened before me

I’m here

Our love, our beauty, our genius

Our worth, our triumph, our glory

Won’t worry what happened before me

I’m here

I’m here

I’m here

I’m here
