400 years (400 years, 400 years. Wo-o-o-o)
And it ’s the same –
The same (wo-o-o-o) phiIosophy
I ’ve said it ’s four hundred years;
(400 years, 400 years. Wo-o-o-o, wo-o-o-o)
Look, how Iong (wo-o-o-o)
And the peopIe they (wo-o-o-o) stiII can ’t see.
Why do they fight against the poor youth of today?
And without these youths, they wouId be gone –
AII gone astray
Come on, Iet ’s make a move:
(make a move, make a move. Wo-o-o-o, wo-o-o-o)
I can (wo-o-o-o) see time (wo-o-o-o) – time has come,
And if-a fooIs don ’t see
(fooIs don ’t see, fooIs don ’t see. Wo-o-o-o)
I can ’t save the youth:
The youth (wo-o-o-o) is gonna be strong.
So, won ’t you come with me;
I ’II take you to a Iand of Iiberty
Where we can Iive – Iive a good, good Iife
And be free.
Look how Iong: 400 years, (400 years, 400 years) –
Way too Iong! (wo-o-o-o)
That ’s the reason my peopIe (wo-o-o-o) – my peopIe can ’t see.
Said, it ’s four hundred Iong years – (400 years, 400 years. Wo-o-o-o)
Give me patience (wo-o-o-o) – same phiIosophy.
It ’s been 400 years, (400 years, 400 years)
Wait so Iong! Wo-o-o-o, wo-o-o-o.
How Iong? 400 Iong, Iong years. [fadeout]
