slide20xx - the children of indigo / azure blue (joy) lyrics

there was once a woman who ate the sky
drank its deep blue oceans
and became intoxicated with its wonder
she ate until her skin became darker
richer than all earthly beings
they called her the color indigo

she passed down its deep hues
on the tips of her fingerprints to her children
and they adopted a similar brilliance
as their mother
indigo is not easily diluted

they used their indigo to paint thе world
in palaces, pyramids, and ziggurats
from ethiopia, and egypt to peru
they stainеd the world with the wonderful sapphire dye
more precious than gold
but they mined the sky so deeply
they became drunk on heaven

touching the sky
has its beauty and its perils
glory can be a fool’s gold
that helps you lose
touch with earthly obligations
they lost their connection to the lands
they lost their connections with each other
merchants jealous of their color captured them
comfortably sold her children
across the earth for rum and sugar
leaving the once clear waters blue
from those who jumped overboard
shipping them along the sea and river banks
locked in stocks in bondage. banking on my ancestors
the original stocks and bonds as deposits

even in the face of insurmountable cruelty
these children learned to drown suffering in rhythm
and weaved joy in the fabric of suffering
your cotton and tobacco fields
your denim jeans are stained with her fingerprints

the rock and hip hop you dance to
the jazz you enjoy on lazy sundays
was born from their spirituals
they took their blues and made
a magic called song

and everywhere their music touched
became their culture
indigo is not easily diluted
all the times we were knocked to earth
we became stronger
our enemies knew
if left unchained we would touch the sky. again
and so all paths lead us back to the way where the bluebirds fly
and indigo’s children can be found in all the places where the sun kisses their skin
by golden sun and blue ocean
and we found our home again
yes, our former selves built pyramids and temples as portals
so we could go back to the future. our future
the treasure that could only be found within
and joy, joy comes in the morning

we learned there is no need to wait on the world for our coronation
our crown has been passed down in our fingerprints

and we shine more brilliant with each day
our color is not easily diluted
