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)
