Lyrics

400 Years

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

400 years (400 years, 400 years)

And it's the same, the same philosophy

I've said it's 400 years (400 years, 400 years)

Look, how long, and the poeple they still can't see

Why do they fight against the poor youth of today?

And without these youths, they would be gone

All gone astray

Come on, let's make a move (make a move, make a move)

I can see time, time has come

And if a fools don't see (fools don't see, fools don't see)

I can't save the youth, the youth is gonna be strong

So, won't you come with me, I'll take you to a land of liberty

Where we can live, live a good, good life

And be free

Look how long! 400 years (400 years, 400 years)

Way too long! that's the reason my people my people can't see

Said it's 400 long years (400 years, 400 years)

Give me patience, same philosophy

It's been 400 years (400 years, 400 years)

What so long! How long? 400 long, long years
