In this soul-stirring piece, Michael Kiwanuka delves into the profound internal conflict of advocating for justice while maintaining compassion towards those who oppose him. The lyrics express a deep moral conviction, highlighting the struggle between fighting against an unjust system and the necessity to keep loving even in the face of adversity. This interlude serves as a powerful reminder that true change often requires not just resistance to wrongdoing but also an unwavering commitment to empathy and love, no matter how challenging that may be. It's a call to be "maladjusted" to injustice while still embracing humanity in all its complexity.
Interlude (Loving The People)
Lyrics
A moving feeling within me
That I was sitting there demanding a God-given right
And my soul became satisfied that I was right in what I was doing
At the same time there was something deep down within me
Moving me
That I could no longer be satisfied or go along with an evil system
That I had to be maladjusted to
Yet in spite of all of this, I had to keep loving the people
Who denied me service
Who stared at me
