'Cause I remember |
|
It was four hundred years or more |
|
Since you came to crucify |
|
And they were taken far away from home |
|
There were promises of paradise |
|
But if they had been told that day |
|
That they would be sold this way |
|
To satisfy the souls of chosen men |
|
See I had to look carefully |
|
At the shame of my ancestry |
|
To redefine the story line again |
|
Hey, if I was taken for a day and shown another way |
|
Now every child can learn a different thing |
|
See I tried a million times but |
|
I had to change my mind |
|
Oh, sadness was the best thing |
|
I can bring |
|
On the inside he was dead and this is what he said |
|
As he took away the bloom above the clouds |
|
Oh, superiority was clearly meant to be |
|
So destiny will manifest in time |
|
So where has love all gone? |
|
A troubled trail of tears will tell the take |
|
Of how I was put down where |
|
I don't belong |
|
Woman, child and man for sale |
|
For ethical slavery is just an absurdity |
|
How can you be alive when you are dead? |
|
With these chains of hypocrisy, the shame of my ancestry |
|
Forever stained by blood in which you tread |
|
Hey, if I was taken for a day and shown another way |
|
Oh, now every child can learn a different thing |
|
See I tried a million times but |
|
I had to change my mind |
|
Oh, sadness was the best thing |
|
I can bring |
|
On the inside he was dead, oh, and this is what he said |
|
As he took away the bloom above the clouds |
|
Oh, superiority was clearly meant to be |
|
So destiny will manifest in time |
|
So where has the love all gone |
|
So wanna know where, wanna know where |
|
Wanna know where, wanna know where |
|
Somebody tell me where the love has all gone |
