lyrics
Friends of mine, cousins of mine, family of mine,
We are all on the same road, in the same line for good or bad.
(We are lost, we are not understanding.)
I thought I was not part of it but I realised it is all around me
So I cannot stay silent.
I ask for prayers from all beliefs around Africa and the globe to help us.
Someone who is planning to do something bad in this street will not let his children play here.
Your neighbours are not your enemies.
The leaders do not live in your street.
(We are lost, we are not understanding.)
The situation is wider than the landscape you can see.
(Oh my God, the flood is spreading)
Where is the water coming from? We have been looking for years.
(When the eyes are full, the water will fall.)
Talk and agree.
Between us, between all our groups and neighbours, let us talk and agree.
We are looking in the wrong place, on the wrong side of the stick.
Brothers, Sisters, Friends, Neighbours, Everyone,
We need you. Let's fight this disease and the hunger.
he community needs us, the country needs us, everybody needs us.
Our hands are dirty, let’s cleanse them.
Even if we think they are clean, cleanse them even further.
Let’s share the little we have and stop putting each other down.
We have to keep Africa moving forward or we will get left behind.
A bird in the tree will not feel safe to fly down to a land that has nothing to offer.
Brothers and sisters we can't go back to our beginning but a fresh start is possible.
Our hands are dirty, let’s cleanse them.
Even if we think they are clean, cleanse them even further.
We are all on the same road, in the same line for good or bad.
(We are lost, we are not understanding.)
I thought I was not part of it but I realised it is all around me
So I cannot stay silent.
I ask for prayers from all beliefs around Africa and the globe to help us.
Someone who is planning to do something bad in this street will not let his children play here.
Your neighbours are not your enemies.
The leaders do not live in your street.
(We are lost, we are not understanding.)
The situation is wider than the landscape you can see.
(Oh my God, the flood is spreading)
Where is the water coming from? We have been looking for years.
(When the eyes are full, the water will fall.)
Talk and agree.
Between us, between all our groups and neighbours, let us talk and agree.
We are looking in the wrong place, on the wrong side of the stick.
Brothers, Sisters, Friends, Neighbours, Everyone,
We need you. Let's fight this disease and the hunger.
