it's for a local carnival club in Bridgwater Somerset

I did the roughest of phonetic transcriptions on this song - here it is. I quite liked it, and I for one would pay good money to see 15 white guys singing and dancing to it


Title: The Warrior
Artist: Osibisa


Ho sa, ho sa ho!
Ho sa, ho sa ho!

Ahs cries mesa, painted by the sun,
Da dahl suspect, stand by on the hill,
A loud silence, ahs begins to spill
Da dahl suspect, scramble for the kill!

The vultures fly, the wind is high, the warrior fights, the battle of power!
The scavengers wait, each finds their space.
Death is late, the battle of power!

Ho sa, ho sa ho!
Ho sa, ho sa ho!

(chorus)
Ho sa, ho sa ho!
Ho sa, ho sa ho!
Ho sa, ho sa ho!
In Tee Na Day Dah

(repeat chorus 3 times)

Babies searching, sitting on their own
If not thinking who is coming home
Aspeels slashing, streaming through the air
Each one sheathers, if your heart is fair.

The vultures fly, the wind is high, the warrior fights, the battle of power!
The scavengers wait, each finds their space.
Death is late, the battle of power!

Ho sa, ho sa ho!
Ho sa, ho sa ho!

(repeat chorus 3 times)

Ho sa, ho sa ho!

(funk musical interlude)

(repeat chorus 6 times)

Ho sa, ho sa ho!
O C D sah!

Ho sa, ho sa ho!
O C D sah!

Ho sa, ho sa ho!
O C D sah!
