A silent call from a distant land
Crying for a helping hand, so
How long will it go on?
Ignorance and vanity
Supercede humanity, so
How long will it go on?
I want to know how long will it go on?
Chorus
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
Another child is laid to rest
Another day of hopelessness, 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 this go on?
Yuko awezayo kusikia kilio chetu? (Can somebody hear us crying out?)
Twaomba msaada wenu (Somebody help us)
Aweko mwenye kutuokoa (Somebody save us)
Aweko mwenye kutupa uhuru (Somebody free us)
