Bul ma seen, bul ma djiss ma di re
Nga fook ni mann
Xamu ma li nee ka thi sa ma suul ak thi gui naw

11 Baguma ku ma xool daal di ne yaaw
Li neeka thi yaaw mo neek thi man
Li neek thi man mooy len japale

15 Nothing can move us
We should be using
From the ones who practice wicked charms
For the son and the stone, bad to the bone
Bad is not over even when it's won

19 And when a child is born into this world
It has no concept of the tone the skin it's living in
It's not a

23 Second, we're seven seconds away
For just as long as I stay
I'll be waiting
It's not a second, we're seven seconds away
For just as long as I stay
I'll be waiting

I'll be waiting

I'll be waiting

35 J'assume les raisons qui nous poussent de changer tout
J'aimerai qu'on oublie leur couleur pour qu'ils esperent
Beaucoup de sentiments de race qui font qu'ils desesperent
Je veux que les portes soient grandement ouvertes
Pour qu'ils puissent parler de leurs peines de leurs joies
Pour qu'on leur file des informations qui ne devisent pas

43 Changer........
Seven seconds away
For just as long as I stay
I'll be waiting
It's not a second, we're seven seconds away
For just as long as I stay
I'll be waiting

I'll be waiting

I'll be waiting

55 And when a child is born into this world
It has no concept of the tone the skin it's living in
And there's a million voices
And there's a million voices
To tell you what she should be thinking
So you'd better sober up for just a second

64 We're seven seconds away
For just as long as I stay
I'll be waiting (hu-uh)
It's not a second, we're seven seconds away
For just as long as I stay
I'll be waiting

72 It's not a second, we're seven seconds away
For just as long as I stay
I'll be waiting
It's not a second, we're seven seconds away
For just as long as I stay
F'll be waiting

I'll be waiting

I'll be waiting
