Lyrics
DARFUR
Tears in your eyes - you want to cry
But you always hold back that feeling
It's easy to hide all the pain deep inside
It's time to make way for the healing
It's all right to cry (Darfur)
When you ask yourself why (Darfur)
The world just sits by (Darfur)
And we watch people die
You're in despair, no one seems to care
But you know that life has a meaning
Look up at the sky and ask yourself why
We have to live with all this suffering
Don't keep it inside (Darfur)
It's all right to cry (Darfur)
When the world just sits by (Darfur)
And we watch people die
You don't understand why Sudan is not in the public's eye
And you just can't sit back and watch three generations die
In Darfur
Have you asked yourself why (Darfur)
The world hasn't tried (Darfur)
To end the genocide in Darfur?
It's wrong... It's wrong... How long... Can this go on?
You're in despair, no one seems to care
But you know that life has a meaning
Look up at the sky and start to cry
Oh, Lord we've got to stop this suffering
In Darfur
Will it be all right
If you make it through the night?
It will be all right.
Will it be all right
In the sweet by and by?
And you look to the sky
For the sweet by and by
It will be all right.
Does "Never Again" mean anything to you?
Does "Never Again" mean anything to you?
Does "Never Again" mean anything to you?
Hold on... Hold on... Be strong... Be strong
Darfur.
