Continent

Ooh-ooh Ooh-ooh Ooh-ooh-ooh Ooh-ooh-ooh Easy on the eyes Heavy on the heart The land from which we rise Been taken all apart Selfishness and greed Leading our choices Take more than we need While the land is left to bleed Tears of my continent Won't fall forever There'll come a time When we'll all draw the line Tears, but my continent Won't break, no, never Know that the best is yet to come When we move as one (uh, uh, uh) When we move as one (uh, uh, uh) We went from literally being first To who they deliberately treat the worst (yea) Keeping my people stuck in reverse So, how Africa bleeds just to quench your thirst? How could the richest place on Earth Be confused 'bout what we're worth? Uh, I wonder when you a-go stop it Use your privilege fi pillage, I man village just to profit But, I man a-di longest liver Fertile soil and resilient rivers Human resource, significant figures Earth cornerstone, backbone and pillars No more gold diggers Dry mi tears before dem reach mi cheek, uh-ha Stand up and nuh fraid fi speak, uh-ha As we fight for equality The only way forward is unity (yea) Tears of my continent Won't fall forever There'll come a time When we'll all draw the line Tears, but my continent Won't break, no, never Know that the best is yet to come When we move as one When we move as one The darkest of deeds will be brought to the light From the lowest of depths to the highest of heights When the ones who mislead take a stand and unite And your system will be brought to its knees (brought to its knees) Tears of my continent Won't fall forever There'll come a time When we'll all draw the line Tears, but my continent Won't break, no, never Know that the best is yet to come When we move as one When we move as one, hey-yea
