Totally just discovered this! The computer game Civilsation IV is about humanity reaching a point in its development that they have to leave earth and colonise other planets. The theme song for the game, Baba Yetu, is sung in Swahili - the African theme as an obvious reminder to the idea of that the Cradle of Civilization and perhaps even humanity began in Africa. It is a song that makes one reflect about all of human history and what it has meant to be human at a very critical juncture of history (leaving the earth in this computer game). The kicker? Baba Yetu is simply translated Our Father. The entire song is actually the Lords Prayer in Swahili! Now then, when was the last time you said this prayer in such contemplation? In awe and wonder of earth and what it means to be human? Do have a listen! Its a terribly beautiful song.
