Mary's into new things got a brand new bag Superficial living made her life a drag World stereotypes her as she coins the phrase Living for the hot wax and the printed page She no longer wants to boss the bull around Contrary to popular belief
All she wants to do is get inside your head And play the fun rhythms of the street
Batucada Suite Batucada Suite Rhythms of the street
Music for the soul Music for the soul love to make you whole
Estebans a walker and a superman Says that love will someday Reign throughout this land Says he's glad you let him try it all again 'Cause his last time on earth he lived life in sin
All he wants to do is spread his eagle wings And fly south for the winter just like me All he wants to do is get inside your head And play the funky rhythms from the streets Batucada Suite Batucada Suite rhythms for the feet
Music for the soul Music for the soul geared to make you whole
Tribal drums of the African
The reggae of the Rastaman
The ragas of the Indians
Rock-n-roll music of my homeland
The salsa of Spanish descent
Tender lutes of the Orient
Jesus music is heaven sent
To remind us of what has went Batu-Batu-cada
Batu-Batu-cada
Batu-Batu-cada
As I taste life bittersweet I know I am not complete
Until the message in my songs are yours If you feel a pain unfair Crosses too heavy to bear
Preservation comes from peace not war Batu-Batu-cada
