Mamadou's Dance of Fulfillment: Weaving Peace Amidst Life's Chaos
Lyrics
Alone in his seat, his scissors tickling his fingers
Alone in his seat, he's focused on using scissors to manipulate materials.
Cutting wax and motives, sewing them together to make a whole
He cuts and combines wax and motives to create a unified entity.
Mamadou's dancing life, thinking bout the past, he regrets nothing
Mamadou lives a dancing life, reflecting on the past without regret.
Creating his world of peace no focus for all the fighting
He's building a peaceful world, disregarding conflicts.
His kids running to the city
His children are heading to the city.
He don't understand
He lacks understanding of their actions.
Watching him with pity
Onlookers view him with compassion.
He's a fulfilled man
He feels content and fulfilled.
Silly little feuds, are saddening him more than usual
Trivial conflicts deeply sadden him.
Impressions from the world, weigh on his shoulders far more than before
The world's impressions weigh heavily on him.
Placing his head on a sharp needle
He contemplates a potentially less painful way out.
Could result less painful
A metaphor for considering a less painful solution.
His kids running to the city
His children continue their journey to the city.
He don't understand
He remains unable to comprehend their actions.
Watching him with pity
Observers sympathize with him.
He's a fulfilled man
Despite challenges, he feels fulfilled.
Someday he will try to fix it all
He plans to rectify everything someday.
Sew it all together
Metaphorically, he'll mend the situation.
Try to change the weather
He'll attempt to change circumstances.
Born with faith in dancing and spirits all around him
His upbringing instilled belief in dance and spiritual presence.
Taking him to worship places, well known faces above
He's guided to places of worship by familiar faces.
Threads and pins and needles' all he needs to make amends
He only requires threads and needles to make amends.
