Manifest Destiny
(专辑: The Return Of The Space Cowboy - 1994)
As I
remember It was 400 years or more Since you came to crucify And they were taken far away from home There were promises of paradise But if they had been told that day That they would be sold this way To satisfy the
souls of chosen men See, I
had to look carefully At the
shame of my ancestry To redefine the
storyline again Hey, if I
was taken for a
day And shown another way Now every child can learn a
different thing See, I
tried a
million times But I
had to change my mind, oh Sadness was the
best thing I
could bring On the
inside he was dead And this is what he said As he took away the
blue above the
clouds, oh "Superiority was clearly meant to be So destiny will manifest in time" So where has the
love all gone? A
troubled trail of tears will tell the
tale Of how I
was put down where I
don't belong, oh Woman, child and man for sale For ethical slavery is just an absurdity How can you be alive when you are dead? With these chains of hypocrisy The
shame of my ancestry Forever stained by blood in which you tread (hey, yeah) If I
was taken for a
day And shown another way Now every child can learn a
different thing See, I
tried a
million times But I
had to change my mind, oh Sadness was the
best thing I
could bring On the
inside he was dead And this is what he said As he took away the
blue above the
clouds, oh "Superiority was clearly meant to be So destiny will manifest itself in time", yeah So where has the
love all gone? Said I
wanna know, I
wanna know I
wanna know, I
wanna know, I
Oh, somebody tell me where the
love has all gone Said I
want to know why Hey!
