You keep pushing the blame on our colonial fathers You say they came and they took all we had pocessed They have to take the abuse that they have caused our present state with their intruding history Use our goodness and nourishment in the Name of missionary Lied to us, blinded slaved us, misplaced us, strengthen us, hardened us then they replaced us now we got to learn from pain Now it is up to us to gain some recognition If we stop blaming we could get a better condition (wake up world!)
Wake up world!! Wake up and stop sleeping Wake up africa!! Wake up and stop blaming Open ur eyes!! Stand up and rise Road block oh life penalty
Why do we want to remain where we started And how long do we want to stop ourselves from thinking We should learn from experience that what we are here for this existence But now we decide to use the same hatred to oppress our own brothers It is so comfortable to say racism is the cause But this time it is the same colour chasing and biting us Knowledge and selfishness that they gave to us,this is what we use to abuse us
Wake up world!! Wake up and stop sleeping Wake up africa!! Wake up and stop blaming Open ur eyes!! Stand up and rise Road block oh life penalty
Those who have ears let them hear Brothers who are not brainwashed takt ruins and rest Pick them up and stick them back together This is the only way we can change this african weather
Lied to us, blinded slaved us, misplaced us, strengthen us, hardened us then they replaced us now we got to learn from pain
Wake up world!! Wake up and stop sleeping Wake up africa!! Wake up and stop blaming Open ur eyes!! Stand up and rise Road block oh life penalty
You got my heart broken In the state, the way I felt you left me in Gave me your scripture to read and understand And not to fear, now these voices in my mind fight against my soul They want to take over, and I feel weak and sober There are so many thoughts running through my mind That you left me all alone but you send me messages say you won't leave me on my own Oh God of Mercy, yes, I appreciate thee And when I think that you're not present you're the one carrying me And I can't see your footprints, you say you are in me Sometimes I feel so immature, so unclean to even stand before your throne yes
[Chorus:] Oh God of Mercy I appreciate thee And when I think that I'm alone You carry me and make me strong [2x]
And when I ask how long 'till we can shout triumph You say I should be patient you have time for everyone And when I'm down broken, prayed so hard to get off my depression To dismiss Earth's equation need to find a solution I walk through the streets not feeling my body not my soul Like living it I go through life pain, my heart, stole Endless deception, don't want to be to myself To the end comes conclusion it's no use 'Cuz night or man is the devil's residence And putting God's power to the test Is the beginning of downfall, of downfall
Oh God of Mercy I appreciate thee And when I think that I'm alone You carry me and make me strong [6x]
