I am the Wonderseeker I am the Child of Light The one they dared not speak of I am the Wonderseeker My roots run deep and wide I'm the one they dared not speak of My head is dressed in feathers My body's draped in gold I'm the one they dared not speak of I am the Wonderseeker And I'm beyond control Now I'm beyond control If you counted me as worthless Then you can't afford my price If haven't read my story Then you cannot judge my life If you're looking for solutions Or a penance for your crimes Then you're bound to learn my nature Is as savage as my rhymes Now you wanna rock? You're the one who tried to break me Now you wanna rock? But you're the one wound up drowning in your tears Now you wanna rock? You're looking for a contribution Now you wanna rock? The better points of view you once dismissed as queer An angel walks among us The polar caps are melting An angel walks among us And pandemics on the rise An angel walks among us The Amazon is burning An angel walks among us And we're bracing for demise But I've got love Enough to heal the universe And I've got juice Enough to keep the sky from falling down And I've got magic Enough to break the strongest curse And I've got truth Enough to know that nothing holds me down And I've got love Enough to take you higher And I've got love Enough to take you higher I've still got love Enough to take you higher I am the Wonderseeker I am the Child of Light The one they dared not speak of I am the Wonderseeker My roots run deep and wide I'm the one they dared not speak of My fiery eyes read futures My presence scares the bold I'm the one they dared not speak of I am the Wonderseeker And I am powerful Yeah, I am power- I can move the world Say no I'll find another way I can move the world

about

Reflecting on my experiences as a gay African American artist, I wrote and performed "Wonderseeker" as a declaration of liberation. Inspired, in part, by the Oríkì oral praise poetry tradition of indigenous Yórùbá communities of Western Africa, "Wonderseeker" attempts to express the ingenuity, perseverance, and pride that I've inherited from - and share beyond - my LGTBQ+ community. The Wonderseeker knows that queerness brings new ways of seeing the world, as well as new approaches to systemic problems. And the Wonderseeker is never shackled or silenced as they fill the world with love, light, and truth. This version is a remix of a track from my album, FOR THOSE WHO REMAIN. Enjoy!

With love,

Ionne
