作词 : McDonald, Thompson | |
By michael mcdonald and chester thompson | |
From a house comes the sound of an infant crying | |
People stand and stare at the door | |
They dare not go in | |
Where a child lies sobbing beside a lifeless body | |
Trying in vain to awaken the mother within | |
This chain of death has so many faces | |
From the frightened man to the pitiful child | |
Where is our deliverance here? | |
Will this not pass over? | |
Chorus: | |
I won't go back to kikwit town | |
I won't go back | |
I won't go back to kikwit town | |
I won't go back | |
They would not give us my father's body | |
The men in orange suits started gathering &round | |
They asked the names of all who live here | |
As they threw him down in hole and burned his house down | |
What have we done to deserve this? | |
God's wrath has surely come | |
He lets the devil walk among us | |
He lets death into our homes | |
Where is our deliverance here | |
From this demon loosed upon us? | |
Chorus: | |
Is it not enough we live in this squalor? | |
Is it not enough these sacrifices we make? | |
Are we not entitled to some mercy | |
On this short journey we take? | |
Chorus: | |
They said come down and answer all our questions | |
It's best for all if i turn myself in | |
But i know as sure as i walk through that hospital door | |
I will never see daylight again | |
What have we done to deserve this? | |
God's wrath has surely come | |
He lets the devil walk among us | |
He lets death into our homes | |
Where is our deliverance here | |
From this demon loosed upon us? | |
