Madagascar Lyrics

"Madagascar"

I won't be told anymore,
that I've been bought down in this storm,
And left so far out from the shore,
but I can't find by way back, my way back anymore.
Oh no, I won't be told anymore,
that I've been bought down 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, freedom 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...)
(Fear)
(That power that can make a way out of no way)
(Failure to communicate)
(I tell you I've seen a lightning flash, I've heard the thunder roar)
(Everybody's acting 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 a strength to choose)
And left so far out from the shore
(Oh, freedom of all the chains)
That I can't find my way back, my way anymore
(We have together)

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 a strength to choose)
And left so far out from the shore
(Oh, freedom of all the chains)
That I can't find my way back, my way anymore
(We held together)
