A silent call from a distant land
|
Crying for a helping hand, so
|
How long will it go on?
|
Ignorance and vanity
|
Supercede humanity, so
|
How long it will go on?
|
I want to know how long will it go on?
|
|
We can't wait any longer
|
They're crying out, doesn't it matter
|
We can't wait any longer
|
No, no. Too long in a slumber
|
Shake it up,wake it up now.
|
We can't wait any longer. No, no.
|
|
Another child is laid to rest
|
Another day of hopelessnes, so
|
How long it will go on?
|
And every day we're on the fence brings
|
Another fatal consequence, so
|
How long will it go on?
|
I want to know, how long will it go on?
|
|
Yuko awezayo kusikia kilio chetu? (Can somebody hear us crying out?)
|
Twaomba msaada wenu (Somebody help us)
|
Aweko mwenye kuttuoka (Somebody save us)
|
Aweko mwenye kutupa uhuru (Somebody free us)
|

We Can't Wait Any Longer
