With a truck load of Liberians, Sudanese, Somalians and Senegalese, the music quickly became a little African drumming, some muslim lyrics I couldn't understand, and a medley of Tupac, Eminem, & Jay Z. Then, out of the blue, a Journey song, "Faithfully," comes on the radio and all seven of the kids break out in memorized verse. "Ah, man, Steve Perry is the bomb. That's my man."
They sang every word as if they were auditioning as back up singers.
I thought to myself, you can't make this up:
Highway run into the midnight sun
Wheels go round and round
You're on my mind
Restless hearts sleep alone tonight
Sending all my love along the wire
They say that the road
ain't no place to start a family
Right down the line it's been you and me
And loving a music man
ain't always what it's supposed to be
Girl
you stand by me
I'm forever yours
faithfully
Circus life under the big top world
We all need the clowns to make us laugh
Through space and time
Always another show
Wodering where I am lost without you
And being a part ain't easy on this love affair
Two strangers learn to fall in love again
I get the joy of rediscovering you
Oh girl
you stand by me
I'm forever yours
faithfully
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
oh oh oh oh oh oh
faithfully
I'm still yours
I'm forever yours
Ever yours
faithfully
