about

Come to Life- This song was inspired by Guayaki’s motto “Come to Life,” which also happens to be the name of the record label. This song was a message to myself to be present and aware of all the gifts coming into my life. That's why the first lyrics are, "wake up and see yourself inside this dream." It uses a very particular rhythm from my ancestral home in Mangochi, Malawi called Manganje.

lyrics

Come to Life
(By Masauko)

Wake up and see yourself inside this dream
come to Life, come to life
When everybody turns around and tells you
that they don't believe
come to life, come to life

Mwana wanga kutakataka (my child get active/busy)

O pour water upon this seed
come to life now, come to life now

Get out, get it going, give it everything
you've got to give
come to life, come to life

Living a life that you're loving
and loving the life you´re living
inside of your purpose
come to life, come to life

Mwana wanga kutakataka

O pour water upon this seed
come to life now, come to life now
O nature the growing dream
come to life now, come to life now
(Chorus)

I think I can I know I can
I'm deeper than the average man
an African who knows he can can
come to life, come to life

These are the toughest times
and they just might drown you
if you don't let that light inside you
come to life, come to life

(Chorus)
