lyrics

We’re Atlas Soul
Lyrics by Regie Gibson


We’re Atlas Soul and our goal: Musify the planet from equator to the poles (2x)

People always ask me what our music is
Because they dig all of the hip influences
I say “just listen
And resist the labelin’”
But if they insist I tell them:

“Start with some heavy funk of Maghrebi
Mix in some jazz and rai to get the melody
Throw in some rock and intelligent hip-hop
Then add the spiritual… and there you go”

We’re Atlas Soul and our goal: Musify the planet from equator to the poles (2x)

This is a night you’ve come for the fire
Musical heat that’ll make you perspire
But you desire to be inspired
To rise higher, higher, higher

Decrease your anger
Release your tensions
Through this unique musical intervention
HMMMMMM!? Did I forget to mention
We don’t give a damn about your race or religion

Whether Black or a White or a Jew or a Christian
Buddhist or Muslim or non-God believin’
We only care that you share this vision:
One world moving to one rhythm

We’re Atlas Soul and our goal: Musify the planet from equator to the poles (2x)

So may our souls become reawakened
so we can transcend all of our hatreds
for this to happen give this a chance:
love, play, chant, meditate, then dance

Say:
Love, play, chant, meditate, then dance
Love, play, chant, meditate, then dance
Love, play, chant, meditate, then dance
Love, play, chant, meditate, then dance

Love, play, chant, meditate, then dance
Love, play, chant, meditate, then dance
Love, play, chant, meditate, then dance
Love, play, chant, meditate, then dance

We’re Atlas Soul and our goal: Musify the planet from equator to the poles (2x)

Alternate Final Verse:

So may your soul be moved by the music
So that your soul may become transcendent
Then it can blossom and reawaken
Then you can get rid of all the hatred

May you have love in each and every way
May you find time for yourself just to play
May you learn to chant and learn to meditate
Then find time to dance each and every day

May you love, play, chant, meditate, then dance
Love, play, chant, meditate, then dance
Love, play, chant, meditate, then dance
Love, play, chant, meditate, then dance

We’re Atlas Soul and our goal: To unite the planet from equator to the poles (4x)
