[00:00.884]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
