Cutting Jade - Swazi Malawi lyrics

Swazi Malawi, a young boy cries out to me There used to be a time when that would have been his nationality Now we sell our lives off short And try to be as misunderstood as we can be to ourselves Hey you do you remember me? I used to be a good friend to you Now I guess you could say we've drifted apart like smoke on a breeze But now we live our lives in fear to be the same as the person standing next to you Aint that a shame Mirror, mirror on the wall tell me who's the most foolish of us all Cause we live our lives in a chocking sweat to scared to feel the pain So we numb our fears again and carry on I know you feel it Swazi Malawi Don't roll it up, smoke it up, give it up, drink it up Swazi Malawi an old man calls out to me But in his eyes I see the cries of his hurt and starving family I see how one man's gain is another man's loss And a cross waits for you and me.
