First download the MP3. Listen and enjoy.

Then read the translated lyrics.

Man I'd love to hear that sung in church.


(With thanks to branovices for originally sending me the track.)

Huh, you know, I've been listening to that track on occasion for a long, long time cuz it's really cool, but I never knew what the lyrics actually meant. That's kinda neat, actually...

The African students at my church used to sing that kind of stuff in their choir at my church all the time. I really miss that.

i love this song...

this is the opening track from Civ 4, right? Such a brilliant piece: When I first started the game, I knew I was in for a treat. Also, I saw this performed by a choir and orchestra at Video Games Live in April in New York. So fucking good.
