Ikaya - These Tears lyrics

I see babies having babies I see mothers running away from the kids Is like this world gone crazy Or is the prophecy is being fulfilled What kind of world are you living in, my sisters Selling your soul for a dime or a dollar Brothers are fighting against their brothers Fathers take advantage of their daughters And single mothers try to keep their heads above the water Water, water, water These tears I cry The things we hate, the more we see These tears are mad I'm hoping for a brighter day Lord knows I cry The things we hate, the more we see My brothers, my sisters, my friends For the love of us we must change They still judge us by the colour of our skin Black has been inferior when beauty is within Pure is the face but give them no support Ain't you wonder why your child Can't get an' A on their report What is this I see, taking its toll on humanity Bridges are disappearing Living in this world is so hard to keep your sanity These tears I cry The things we hate, the more we see These tears are mad I'm hoping for a brighter day Lord knows I cry The things we hate, the more we see My brothers, my sisters, my friends For the love of us we must change What kind of man would leave the mother of his kids And in the end don't give a damn if she lives What kind of man would take his mothers life Remember she gave you life Oh, what is this I see, it's draining my energy Frustrated by poverty, when will we be free These tears I cry The things we hate, the more we see These tears are mad I'm hoping for a brighter day Lord knows I cry The things we hate, the more we see My brothers, my sisters, my friends For the love of us we must change My brothers, my sisters, my friends For the love of us we must change These tears I cry The things we hate, the more we see These tears are mad I'm hoping for a brighter day Lord knows I cry The things we hate, the more we see My brothers, my sisters, my friends For the love of us we must change For the love of us we must change For the love of us we must change For the love of us we must change
