Fukushima -The Magnetic North |
[00:18.700] |
I remember 911how my city cried for heaven |
[00:21.773] |
How people perished no matter what style of reverence |
[00:24.349] |
I remember tribeca buildings falling all day |
[00:27.461] |
Missing people everywhere all the years of mourning |
[00:30.424] |
What made it worse was our leaders '05you could see it |
[00:33.240] |
With katrina they didn't feel it they were just greedy greedy |
[00:36.685] |
Just like fukushima good bad made clearer |
[00:39.226] |
It's salt to the wound when your leaders just leave ya |
[00:42.257] |
But that's when the lion's roar that's when you fight for more |
[00:45.539] |
That's when you figure out there're things worth dying for |
[00:48.180] |
It's only when the days dark you discover brave hearts |
[00:51.381] |
I know a girl from haiti motherless who has the same heart |
[00:54.341] |
My heart goes out to each and every one of you |
[00:57.631] |
Children of the future will be greater because of you |
[01:00.151] |
I don't write songs for the fortune or a buzz or two |
[01:03.279] |
I write for my people hope you feel me love for you |
[01:06.66] |
I'll cross a stormy river |
[01:09.319] |
Dig the deepest tunnel |
[01:12.311] |
Build a bridge over |
[01:15.563] |
Any length to love you |
[01:18.231] |
I'll bear any fate |
[01:21.345] |
Carry it double |
[01:24.223] |
However much the stretch |
[01:26.893] |
I'll go any length to love you |
[01:42.476] |
I don't even know the half only seen the photographs |
[01:45.631] |
Reporters telling stories from the view inside their cul de sacs |
[01:48.543] |
So i sat eyes glued thinking of your loneliness |
[01:51.223] |
Choking back the tears and blinking back condolences |
[01:54.747] |
A lowly gift cuz your world is rearranging |
[01:57.613] |
On the train sat beside a girl with paper cranes and |
[02:00.644] |
She feels so ashamed cuz she'd rather send a benjamin |
[02:03.403] |
But maybe hope's the better currency for this millennium |
[02:06.346] |
Life is but a dream but a dream is all we hope for |
[02:09.666] |
Like the light you cannot stifle shining behind closed doors |
[02:12.339] |
Like the song you shouldn't sing |
[02:14.91] |
You sing until your throat's sore |
[02:15.611] |
Like the love that never dies though life itself is so short |
[02:19.581] |
And your beauty is resilience |
[02:20.909] |
Holding on to nothing but the fact you will rebuild again |
[02:25.818] |
And i know you will rebuild my friend |
[02:27.433] |
We'll go to any length no distance is too significant |
[02:30.317] |
I'll cross a stormy river |
[02:33.573] |
Dig the deepest tunnel |
[02:36.405] |
Build a bridge over |
[02:39.453] |
Any length to love you |
[02:42.234] |
I'll bear any fate |
[02:45.226] |
Carry it double |
[02:48.266] |
However much the stretch |
[02:51.69] |
I'll go any length to love you |
[03:06.530] |
Rebuilding is a struggle i feel it you feeling crumbled |
[03:08.881] |
Your spirit's still recovering conflicted with god above us |
[03:12.472] |
Have we been punished why what justifies suffering nothing |
[03:14.891] |
I see no reason for people to lose their homes |
[03:17.612] |
From right under |
[03:18.157] |
Maybe it's mother nature's way of saying we need a change |
[03:20.987] |
Crusades of war and terrorism synonyms of the same |
[03:23.276] |
So filled with hate in our veins and racist youtube tirades |
[03:26.613] |
Still makes me sick hot 97played the tune on the waves |
[03:29.797] |
But i can't sit here in shame just hoping and praying |
[03:32.613] |
This ain't no dream within a dream |
[03:34.493] |
There ain't no totem to save 'em |
[03:35.982] |
It's as real as it gets when you realize death |
[03:38.513] |
Cuz when you lose someone you truly redefine strength |
[03:44.44] |
So i'll utilize this pen |
[03:45.363] |
My arms don't reach across the seas but songs move any length |
[03:49.627] |
Any length to love you |
[03:50.933] |
Rest and peace to all the fallen your strength is eternal |
[03:53.807] |
I'll cross a stormy river |
[03:57.287] |
Dig the deepest tunnel |
[04:00.445] |
Build a bridge over |
[04:03.392] |
Any length to love you |
[04:06.192] |
I'll bear any fate |
[04:09.498] |
Carry it double |
[04:12.297] |
However much the stretch |
[04:14.823] |
I'll go any length to love you |
