Lyrics for Iwoya (feat. Dave Matthews)

You don't have to be old to be wise A bird doesn't wait 'til it dies to fly Emptiness is not for me Fill me up and spill over me Titila ela temi yo Lon dan ninou ayé pelou oyaya Mon fé dada foun éda mio Fon fé ki ayé temin koda See your soul, open your eyes From inside, your soul comes shining Mon ria émi ninou i fè I fè foua nami pelou ayo You don't have to be old to be wise Don't you hear the baby crying Iwoya, Iwoya, Iwoya Iwoya, Iwoya, Iwoya [Angélique:]??? You don't have to be old to be wise A bird doesn't wait 'til it dies to fly And emptiness is not for me Fill me up, fill me up, spill over me Iwoya, Iwoya, Iwoya Iwoya, Iwoya, Iwoya
