Life is a lottery

I make a sport of it

I don't take photos for a while

Filter nothing from reality

Everyone has their disasters

Everyone has their blessings

At the table of the doomed

Honey and milk are missed

Also said who you meet

You will ever meet yourself

Back to the source

Different time, old acquaintances of each other

Let's share our story

And some humanity

Nothing exists that doesn't touch something else, quote

I am because we are

Hey, Hey, Hey

Do we know each other

Hey, Hey, Hey

And someday we realize

Hey, Hey, Hey

The wind touches us all

Hey, Hey, Hey

The wind touches us all

You have seekers of happiness

You have seekers of wealth

You have seekers of problems

No idea

We are chemistry with too much brooch

With the music in the chest

Those who live to hate

Kill them with love, kill them with love

I am because we are

More than the sum of the parts

Back to the source

Different time, old acquaintances of each other

Let's share our story

And some humanity

Nothing exists that doesn't touch something else, quote

I am because we are

Hey, Hey, Hey

Do we know each other

Hey, Hey, Hey

And someday we realize

Hey, Hey, Hey

The wind touches us all

Hey, Hey, Hey

The wind touches us all

It is no

Someday we will find each other again

The wind touches us all

I am because we are

Hey, Hey, Hey

Do we know each other

Hey, Hey, Hey

And someday we realize

Hey, Hey, Hey

The wind touches us all

Hey, Hey, Hey

I am because we are

Hey, Hey, Hey

Do we know each other

Hey, Hey, Hey

And someday we realize

Hey, Hey, Hey

The wind touches us all

Hey, Hey, Hey

The wind touches us all

SONG MEANING

Ubuntu invites us to step away from life’s photo-perfect filters and look each other in the eye. Tourist LeMC sings that life is a lottery, full of both blessings and disasters, yet none of us plays alone. Borrowing the African philosophy “Ik ben omdat wij zijn” – I am because we are – he reminds us that every choice, every joy, and every pain ripples outward and touches someone else, much like the wind that “raakt ons allemaal” (touches us all).

Across the pulsing beat he lists fortune-seekers, trouble-seekers, even haters, then counters with a disarming rallying cry: “Kill them with love.” The message is simple and uplifting: when we share our stories, our music, and a bit of hard-won humanity, we become greater than the sum of our parts. In the world of Ubuntu, community is not a nice-to-have, it is the very essence of who we are.
