Lyrics
Devastation?s just another day for us
Another hungry mouth to feed is drowning us.
So we drown the one we all can blame
She has no name
to you
So how long
How long
How long must we all wait
Before there?s room upon the boat
For each and everyone
To life
we cry
Below our ancestors are brothers who can hear us now
On the river?s edge
A band of thugs are coming now to tax me hard
And the palace on the shore is just a barn
An orphan child sleeps in the street tonight
The killing fields
have grown
So how long
How long
How long must we all wait
Before there?s room upon the boat
That waits to leave this place
To life
We cry
Below our ancestors are brothers who can hear us now
But have no hands to lend
How long
How long
How long before the weak aren?t turned away
Or walked upon
Where justice can be found
To life
We cry
While caught between the oldest culture?s of society
And western ways of life
