Текст песни The Way Our Lives Go - Femi Kuti

They way our lives go
We're passing through a world we don't really know
Some don't even show
Any interest in the globe
Pretending all their lives
They don't see with their eyes
They don't hear the people cry
They don't care if they die
But little do they know
That whilst they do their evil deeds
We are not alone
For the guardian angel sees
And one day the people will rise
And victory shall reign through the skies
And we will have that peace of mind
For everything will truly be fine
One day the people will rise,
Will rise
And say to the suffering goodbye
Goodbye
It's just a matter of time
Matter of time
The people will rise and shine
Rise and shine
And day to the people will rise
Will rise
And say to the suffering goodbye
Goodbye
It's just a matter of time
Matter of time
The people will rise and shine
Rise and shine
Today not tomorrow
The suffering must stop, no more sorrow
Time we carnot borrow
The path of righteousness we must follow
From corruption there's no gain
History teaches us again and again
Corruption will only bring pain
And block the way for peace to reign
Change is on the way
For nothing ever remains the same
The suffering is not a game
Our pride and dignity we will reclaim
One day the people will rise
And victory shall reign through the skies
And we will have that peace of mind
For everything will truly be fine
One day the people will rise
Will rise
And say to the suffering goodbye
Goodbye
It's just a matter of time
Matter of time
The people will rise and shine
Rise and shine
One day the people will rise
Will rise
And say to the suffering goodbye
Goodbye
It's just a matter of time
Matter of time
The people will rise and shine
Rise and shine
One day the people will rise
And say to the suffering goodbye
It's just a matter of time
The people will rise and shine
One day the people will rise
And say to the suffering goodbye
It's just a matter of time
The people will rise and shine
The way our lives go
The way our lives go
The way our lives go
The way our lives go
The way our lives go
The way our lives go
The way our lives go
That's the way our lives go
