A silent call from a distant land Crying for a helping hand, so How long will it go on? Ignorance and vanity Supercede humanity How long will it go on? I want to know how long will it go on? We can't wait any longer They're crying out, doesn't it matter We can't wait any longer No, no Too long in a slumber Shake it up, wake it up now We can't wait any longer No, no Another child is laid to rest Another day of hoplessness, so How long will it go on? And every day we're on the fence brings Another fatal consequence, so How long will it go on? I want to know how long will it go on? We can't wait any longer They're crying out, doesn't it matter We can't wait any longer No, no Too long in a slumber Shake it up, wake it up now We can't wait any longer No, no Yuko awezayo kusikia kilio chetu? (Can someone hear us crying out?) Twaomba msaada wenu (Sombody help us) Aweko mwenye kutuokoa (Sombody save us) Aweko mwenye kutupa uhuru (Sombody free us)
