Am in chains you're in chains too
I wear uniforms, you wear uniforms too
Am a prisoner, you're a prisoner too
Mr Jailer

I have fears you have fear too
I will die, you sef go die too
Life is beautiful don't you think so too
Mr Jailer

Am talking to you jailer
Stop calling me a prisoner
Let he who is without sin-
Be the first to cast the stone
Mr Jailer

You suppress all my strategy
You oppress every part of me
What you don't know, you're a victim too
Mr Jailer

You don't care about my point of view
If I die another will work for you
So you threat me like a modern slave
Mr Jailer

You don't care about my point of view
If I die another will work for you
So you threat me like a modern slave
Mr Jailer

If you walking in a market place
Don't throw stones
Even if you do you just might hit
One of your own
Life is not about your policies
All the time
So you better rearrange your
Philosophies and be good to your fellow man jailer

I hear my baby say
I wan be president
I wan chop money
From my government
What he don't know
Be say Mr Jailer

Vs 1
We don't have to go the 360 degrees
Now is time we go the 180
You don't have to climb the highest mountain
For all your looking for is within you
Open the eyes of your mind your ears and mouth
As I sing my song

Open the eyes of your mind your ears and mouth
As you hear my words ooo oh

Chrs
Parapa pa pa pa re
Parapa pa pa pa re
I'll be waiting
I'll be… ooo oh

Parapa pa pa pa re
Parapa pa pa pa re
I'll be waiting
I'll be

We still live in yesterday
Many today they waste away
But nevertheless it's never late
Oooo see the times have change
I thought you knew
But these words will never ever wait for you
The waters have gone past the fighting
So drop the guns and your swords
And let us leave all as one
We only need love and understanding
So drop the guns and your swords
And let us leave all as one ooooo

Chrs
Parapa pa pa pa re
Parapa pa pa pa re
I'll be waiting oo
I'll be… ooo oh

Parapa pa pa pa re
Parapa pa pa pa re
I'll be waiting

Every nation, across the ocean
Is more than just the colours
We only want one another
Oooo Ooh

Chrs
Parapa pa pa pa re
Parapa pa pa pa re
I'll be waiting
I'll be waiting for you
For you you you and you

Parapa pa pa pa re
Parapa pa pa pa re
I'll be waiting
I'll be waiting for you
Every people where ever you be
Is more than just a colour
We only want one another…

I wake up
I see you
As you leave.

I feel it,
I see it
As you leave

When we kiss
I want deep but you're far away.

Bim ba n ke bo ban shun
Fi mi si le
Bim ba n ke bo jo ba n ro
Fi mi si le.

He use to be my every thing
Treated me like I was a queen
What spell did u cast on me?
Or is it the make believe

You say girl never be afraid of ever ever loving me
Those words I hung on too
Oh God I was a fool
You became my bad habit
Keeping up appearances/so you could notice

Even when you suddenly picked your things
And left the keys/now its crazy

Bim ba n ke bo mi ban shun
Fi mi si le
Bim ba n ke bo jo ba n ro
Fi mi si le.

Bim ba n ke o o o o
Ko Kun ba si a
Mo ti foro mi fo lu wa
Ko sho, ko sho wa

Every day is not a holiday
My life's like a subway
Oh I know this love don't last

Look at me tell me what you see
Do you believe this love is real
Oh I know this love don't last

I have come from faraway
To see this go down the drain

I have waited patiently
And this is what I get
Emotionally failing me

My whole wild world is caving in
I try so hard to express myself
but The woman in me
o o o don't fade away

My mama say baby be careful
If any body comes to say I love o o o
My papa say baby I warn you
If anybody comes to say I love you

Now you asking me to trust you
Tell me how am I supposed to
When I know this love don't last

Could this be the kind of love ?
That my mum use to warn me about How will I know
that this love will last.

I have come from far away
To see this go down the drain
I have got so much to give

But I don't know what I'll get
Emotionally failing me
My whole wild world is caving in

I try so hard to express my self
but The woman in me don't fade away.

My mama say baby be careful
If any body comes to say I love o o o
My papa say baby I warn you
If anybody comes to say I love you

Yeah Yeah

My mama say baby be careful
If any body comes to say I love o o o
My papa say baby I warn you
If anybody comes to say I love you

There is fire on the mountain,
and nobody seems to be on the run.
Oh there is fire on the mountain top,
and no one is'ah running.

I wake up in the morning...
tell you what I see on my TV screen :
I see the blood of an innocent child,
and everybody's watching.

Now, I'm looking out of my window,
and what do I see ?
I see an army of soldiers that're
marching across the street, heh...

What did they say to make you so blind,
to your conscience and reason ?
Could it be love for your country,
or for the gun you use in killing ? So...

There is fire on the mountain,
and nobody seems to be on the run.
Oh there is fire on the mountain top,
and no one is'ah running.

Heh, Mister Loverman !
Can I get a chance to talk to you ?
'cause you are fooling with a dead man's corpse,
and you don't know what you do. Oh...

So little Lucy turns sixteen,
and like the movie she's been seeing,
she has a lover in her daddy.
She can't tell nobody...
'till she makes the evening news.

For there is fire on the mountain,
and nobody seems to be on the run.
Oh there is fire on the mountain top,
and no one is'ah running. Oh yes.

One day the river will overflow,
and there'll be nowhere for us to go ;
and we will run, run...
wishing we had put out the fire, oh no...

Oju mo ti mo

(Translation:)
I wake up at dawn
As it dawn's upon me
I wake up to the sun
Shining upon me
I see doves in the sky
Birds flying high
Then in silence I pray for peace
For my people

Just the other day, the other day
I was talking to the weather man
About today oh oh oh
And all,all he could say
Was no one knows tomorrow

See I can read the weather child
I can say maybe the rain will fall
The sun will shine oh oh ohh….
But that's as far as my story goes

Cos no one knows tomorrow
Oh oh ha…no one knows tomorrow

Tell me what's the need
To go to war/all the killings
Just to settle some one else's score o o o
When the victory isn't even sure
No one knows tomorrow

See, we can study history
and philosophy and Plato's ideology
oh oh ohh…
But tomorrows still a mystery oh oh ohh

No one know tomorrow Oh oh ha…
no one knows tomorrow

Tomorrow is your opportunity to fail
Or be successful if you please, yes indeed

Tomorrow is a politician's today
it's the victim of decision
and the future of our children

So if I die someday,
Will I be in heavenly places ?
Singing halleluiah with an angel

On the piano or will I be
Just another contribution
To the earth, the tress, the grasses

As tomorrow slowly passes
No one know….no one knows

Peace for the people who are gone yekpa
for the ones not yet born oh oh oh
for the people who are here oh oh oh
for the people

I cry when I see that I am born I live when I see what I am to do

Cos life is all about
All you sitting and looking at me
Take one step at a time
Cos if you jump, you'll never believe

The thorns of life
Them are whining and waiting for you and me
They make a brother,
I want to run away

Run away, run away, run away, we re ja si gbo

Beautiful is your name
Wonderful is what you are to me
It's you I see in my dreams
Everyday and I pray for you
Queen of my life
You're so beautiful

(Translation:)
Lord because of you
I am alive, strong and healthy
With you I have hope.
Hails and praises to your name.
When am in need,
And the world turns it's back on me,
I always have you
All hails and praises to your name.
