[Jay-Z - Chorus]
|
When the sky falls and the Earth quakes
|
We gon put this back together
|
We won’t break
|
[repeat]
|
|
[Jay-Z]
|
Sa Pa Se, my Port-Au-Princes
|
My Haitian Gods and all of my Princesses
|
Our condolences as you fightin’ against this
|
We’re right by your side as we tryin’ to make sense of this
|
Heavenly father help us see through these problems
|
And for those that left, accept them into your garden
|
So here’s my theory, the country’s already starvin’
|
So we sacrificed many to shed light on all of them
|
God please pardon, I speak from the heart
|
It's the only way I see this tragedy befall on them
|
So lets get involved with them, hand to hand with them
|
Arm to arm with them til' they get strong again,
|
When the sky falls...
|
|
[Rihanna and Bono ? Hook]
|
Can’t wait until tomorrow
|
Haiti, Mon Amour
|
Haiti, Mon Amour
|
Not gonna leave you stranded, alone, alone
|
oh no
|
|
[Chorus]
|
|
[Jay-Z Verse 2]
|
Learn from the past, New Orleans was flooded
|
So we know we just can’t rely on the government
|
We under the rubble again, here we go rumbling when
|
When we gon catch a break, my friend lost his mother and then
|
And then, Carline lost her uncles and them
|
Buried with no caskets, they just put covers on them
|
And the tears fall, and we fight back
|
Story ain’t done, it can’t end like that
|
Nah not like this, tomorrow’s survivors gonna carry on your name
|
You live on inside us, your memory’s alive with us
|
You inspired us, to rebuild this country, you just guide us
|
|
[Hook]
|
|
[Bono]
|
It’s not the angels that are on their way
|
It's not the bells of Santa Trinite
|
The people waiting, positions vacant
|
For hands to help, not just to pray
|
|
[Hook]
|
|
[French singing]
|
Haiti va s’elever
|
Tu vas te relever
|
Nous nous eleverons
|
Ensemble ensemble ensemble
|
|
(not gonna leave you stranded...)
|
|
[Jay-Z]
|
We gon put this back together we won't break
|
We gon put this back together we won't break
|
We gon put this back together we won't break
|
We gon put this back together we won't break
|
