Femi Kuti - The Way Our Lives Go lyrics

[Verse 1] The way our lives go We’re pa**ing through a world we don’t really know Some don’t even show any interest in the globe Pretending all their lives They don’t see with their eyes They don’t hear the people cry They don’t care if they die But little do they know That whiles they do their evil deeds We are not done For the guidian angel sees And one day the people will rise And victory shall rain through the skies And we will have the peace of mind For everything will truly be fine [Hook/Chorus] “One day the people will rise” Will rise “And say to the suffering goodbye” Goodbye “Just a matter of time” Matter of time “The people will rise and shine” Rise and Shine “One day the people will rise” Will rise “And say to the suffering goodbye” Goodbye “Just a matter of time” Matter of time “The people will rise and shine” Rise and Shine [Verse 2] Today not tomorrow The suffering must stop, no more sorrow Time we cannot borrow The path of righteousness we must follow From corruption there is no gain History teaches us again and again Corruption will only bring pain And block the way for peace to reign Change is on the way For nothing ever remains the same The suffering is not a game Our pride and dignity we will re-claim One day the people will rise And victory shall rain through the skies And we will have that peace of mind For everything will truly be fine [Hook/Chorus] “One day the people will rise” Will rise “And say to the suffering goodbye” Goodbye “Just a matter of time” Matter of time “The people will rise and shine” Rise and Shine “One day the people will rise” Will rise “And say to the suffering goodbye” Goodbye “Just a matter of time” Matter of time “The people will rise and shine” Rise and Shine One day the people will rise And say to the suffering goodbye It’s just a matter of time The people will rise and shine One day the people will rise And say to the suffering goodbye It’s just a matter of time The people will rise and shine [Outro] The way our lives go The way our lives go The way our lives go The way our lives go The way our lives go The way our lives go The way our lives go That’s the way our lives go
