Madagascar

I won't be told anymore
That I've been brought down in this storm
And left so far out from the shore
That I can't find my way back, my way anymore
No, I won't be told anymore
That I've been brought down in this storm
And left so far out from the shore
That I can't find my way back, my way anymore
No I...I

Forgive them that tear down my soul
And bless them that they might grow old
And free them so that they may know
That it's never too late
Oh the many times
What seem like a memory
I've searched and found the ways you use to lure me in
I've found the ways, oh why it had to be
Mired in denial, and so afraid

If we ever find it true
That we had the strength to choose
I'm free of all these chains
We held together

I'm gonna tell you a story
What?
What?
How can a person grow up with all this around them?
Where does it come from?
All this hatred?
What we've got here is..
Failure to communicate
Everybody's acting like we can do anything and it don't matter what we do
Maybe we gotta be extra careful because maybe it matters more than we even know
Hatred isn't somethin' you're born with
It gets taught
I felt this fear
Let's get something straight, alright?
This whole thing was fucked up
All men betray. All lose heart!
I don't want to lose heart!...I want to believe
Stand up for righteousness!
Stand up for justice!
Stand up for truth!
You got to call on that something
That can make a way out of no way
That power that can make a way out of now no way I tell ya I seen the lightning
I've heard the thunder roll!
Sometimes... I feel discouraged
Sometimes I feel discouraged
He promised never to leave me, never to leave me alone, no never alone, no never alone!
Promised never to leave me! Never to leave me alone!

Black men and white men
Together at the table of brotherhood!
I have a dream
Free at last!
Free at last!
Thank God almighty!
We are free at last!

I won't be told anymore
That I've been brought down in this storm
And left so far out from the shore
That I can't find my way back
My way anymore

No, I won't be told anymore
That I've been brought down in this storm
And left so far out from the shore
That I can't find my way back My way anymore
