I'm looking forward to the day
When children will wake to the sounds of birds not bombs
When grasses are green and not burnt to ashes
And we don't see no colours no tribes no races
I'm hopeful for the day
When Children will wake up to the sounds of drums not guns
And we dance in the sun
We do things as one with no body wailing and crying ah! ah! ah!
I am hopeful for the day
We will see a better day
Even though we cry today
We all still gonna smile some day
I am hopeful for the day
We will see a better day
Even though we cry today
We all still gonna smile some day
Tell me why - aiy aiy!
Are we really deceiving each other
Tell me why - aiy aiy!
All this hatred, religion, the violence divide us
Killing all the men
Kidnapping all the girls
Looting all the money
What's the future for all this common men
Killing all the Men
Kidnapping all the girls
Looting all the money
What's the future for all this common men
I am hopeful for the day (I'm hopeful, i'm hopeful)
We will see a better day (See a better day)
Even though we cry today (Uh! uh-uh!)
We all still gonna smile some day
I am hopeful for the day
We will see a better day (See a better day)
Even though we cry today (Uuuuh!)
We all still gonna smile some day
Peace to the world!
