Lyrics
I found my love
I found my love
Caught in a cross-fire
I found my love
I found my love
Caught in a cross-fire between all the things I feel
I come from Africa but I have never seen
The golden fields of what it should be
The rightful owners all across the land
The land that all the white men tried to steal
This not the way
This is not the way
It was always meant to be
Love just save us now
?fore we all fall right down
Before we all come tumbling down
Love just save us now
?fore we all fall right down
Before we all come tumbling down
I found my love
I found my love
Hiding in an African field
This is not my guilt this is just my love
For the way all people should be
So call out in the name, call out in the name
Of what you think and what you believe
This is not the way
This is not the way
It was always meant to be
Love just save us now
?fore we all fall right down
Before we all come tumbling down
Love just save us now
?fore we all fall right down
before we all come tumbling down
This is not a protest song this is just lament
For the way things could be
Love save us now love be a leader
For the way things should be
This is not the way
This is not the way
It was always meant to be
