Madagascar

I won't be told anymore

That I've been brought down in this storm

And left so far out from the shore

But I can't find my way back, my way anymore

Oh no, I won't be told anymore

That I've been brought back in this storm

And left so far out from the shore

Oh, that I can't find my way back, my way anymore

Oh, I, I

Forgive them that tear down my soul

Bless them that they might grow old

And free them so that they may know

That it's never too late

For the many times what seemed like a memory

I've searched and found the ways you used to lure me in

Oh, I found the ways, oh, why it had to be

My'd own denial and so afraid

If we ever find it's true

That we have a strength to choose

Oh, freed of all the chains

We have together

I'm gonna tell you a story

Stand up for righteousness

Eh, what

Stand up for justice

Eh, what

Stand up for truth

How can a person grow up with all this around them?

You gotta call on that something

Where does it come from?

That can make a way out of no way

All this hatred

What we've got here is

That power that can make a way out of no way

Failure to communicate

I tell you I've seen the lightning flash

I've heard the thunder roar

Everybody's actin' that we can do anything

And it don't matter what we do

Maybe we gotta be extra careful

Because maybe it matters more that we even know

Sometimes

Hatred isn't something you're born with

I feel discouraged

It gets taught

Sometimes I feel discouraged

I felt this fear

He promised never to leave me, never to leave me alone

No, never alone, no, never alone

Let's get sometin' straight alright

He promised never to leave me

This whole thing is fucked up

Never to leave me alone

Well, all men betray, all lose heart

I don't wanna lose heart! I wanna believe!

Black men and white men together at the table of brotherhood

I have a dream

Free at last, free at last

Thank God almighty

We are free at last

Oh, I won't be told anymore (if we ever find it's true)

That I've been brought down in this storm (that we have the strength to choose)

And left so far out from the shore (oh, freed of all the chains)

That I can't find my way back, my way anymore

Oh no, I won't be told anymore (if we ever find it's true)

That I've been brought down in this storm (that we have the strength to choose)

And left so far out from the shore (oh, freed of all the chains)

That I can't find my way back, my way anymore
