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 hopelessness 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..
Kuna awezaye kusikia kelio chetu (4x)
(can somebody hear us crying out)
Kuna awezaye kusikia kelio chetu (2x)
(Wake up America, wake up the world)
Kuna awezaye kusikia kelio chetu (2x)
(We can’t wait, no we can’t any longer)
Twaomba msaada wenu (somebody help us)
Aweko, mwenye kuttuoka (somebody save us)
Aweko, mwenye kutupa uhuru (somebody free us)
