Lyrics for 400 Years
Four hundred years (four hundred years, four hundred years) Mmm-mm-mm (Oh-hoo-ooo) And it's the same, the same philosophy I've said it's four hundred years (four hundred years, four hundred years) Look how long (Oh-hoo-ooo) And the people they still can't see Why do they fight against (fight against) The poor youth of today And without this youths (without this youths) They will be gone, all gone astray Come on, let's make a move (make a move, make a move, oh-hoo-ooo) I can see time (oh-hoo-ooo) Time has come And if-a fools don't see (fools don't see, fools don't see, oh-hoo-ooo) I can't save the youth The youth is gonna be strong So, won't you come with me (come with me) I'll take you to a land of liberty Where we can live (we can live) Live a good, good life and be free Look how long, four hundred years (four hundred years, four hundred years) Way too long! (oh-hoo-ooo) That's the reason my people (oh-hoo-ooo) My people can't see Said, it's four hundred long years (four hundred years, four hundred years, oh-hoo-ooo) Give me patience (oh-hoo-ooo) Same philosophy It's been four hundred years (four hundred years, four hundred years) Wait so long! (oh-hoo-ooo, oh-hoo-ooo) How long, four hundred (four hundred years, four hundred years) Long, long years People hiding from reality
