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.

Four hundred years (400 years, 400 years)

And it's the same

The same philosophy

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

Look, how long

And the people 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, four hundred years

Way too long!

That's the reason my people, my people can't see.

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

Give me patience, same philosophy

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

Wait so long!

How long? Four hundred long, long years
