lyrics

UTYERRE

Utyerre’s like a telephone line, connecting me to what is mine

Utyerre’s like a vein in me that also runs in my country
It’s lines that go straight and connect to this
And connect to this and connect to this

My land is like a tie to me it holds all of my family
People and countries roots entwined together as one

Utyerre’s like a twirl of string that holds all of our people in
It ties us to our country forever as one
It has lines that go straight and connect to this
And connect to this and connect to this

Utyerre’s when there’s yam to be found,
It’s like a bean hidden in the ground
When you dig one up there’s a string that leads you
Deeper down, deeper down
It has lines that go straight and connect to this
And connect to this and connect to this

Utyerre’s like a telephone line, connecting me to what is mine
Utyerre’s like a vein in me that also runs in my country
Utyerre’s like a twirl of string that holds all of our people in
The land is like a tie to me it holds all of my family

Utyerre’s like a - telephone line
Utyerre’s like a - vein in me
Utyerre’s like a - tie to me
Utyerre’s like a - twirl of string
Utyerre’s like a - vein in me
Vein in me – vein in me – vein in me
Vein in me – vein in me
