Madagascar

I won’t be told anymore
That I’ve been brought down in this storm
Oh, and left so far out from the shore
That I can’t find my way back
My way anymore
Oh no, I won’t be told anymore
That I’ve been brought down in this storm
Oh, and left so far out from the shore
Oh, that I can’t find my way back
My way anymore
Oh, I...
I... oh...
Yeah, yeah...
Yeah...

Forgive them that tear down my soul
And bless them that they might grow old
Oh, and free them so that they may know
That it's never too late

For the many times what seem like a memory
I searched and found the ways you used to lure me in
Oh, I found the ways
Oh, why it had to be
Mired in denial and so afraid

Oh, if we ever find it's true
That we had the strength to choose
Oh, freedom or the chains
We held together

"I'm gonna tell you a story
Stand up for righteousness
What
Stand up for justice
What
Stand up for truth
How can a person grow up with all this around them
You got to 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 now no way
Failure to communicate
I tell ya I seen the lightning
I've heard the thunder roll
Everybody's acting like we can do anything
And it don't matter what we do
Maybe we gotta be extra careful
Because maybe it matters
More than we even know..
Sometimes...
Hatred isn't somethin' 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 something straight, alright
Promised never to leave me
This whole thing was fucked up
Never to leave me alone
All men betray, all lose heart
I don't want to lose heart
I want to 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 had the strength to choose)
And left so far out from the shore
(Oh, freedom or the chains)
That I can't find my way back
(We held together)
My way anymore

Oh no, I won't be told anymore
(If we ever find it's true)
Oh, that I've been brought down in this storm
(That we had the strength to choose)
Oh, and left so far out from the shore
(Oh, freedom or the chains)
That I can't find my way back
(We held together)
My way anymore
Oh, oh...
