400 Years
400 years (400 years, 400 years)
And it's the same (ho, ho, ho-ho), the same philosophy (ho, ho, ho-ho)
I've said it's 400 years (400 years, 400 years), look, how long (ho, ho, ho-ho)
And, the people, they still can't see (ho, ho, ho-ho)
Why do they fight against (fight against)
The poor youth (ho, ho) of today?
And, without these youths (without these youths)
They would be gone (ho, ho), all gone astray
Come on, let's make a move (make a move, make a move)
I can see time (ho, ho, ho-ho), time has come (ho, ho, ho-ho)
And, if the fools don't see (fools don't see, fools don't see)
I can't save the youth (ho, ho, ho-ho), the youth is gonna be strong (ho, ho, ho-ho)
So, won't you come with me? (come with me)
I'll take you to a land (ho, ho) of liberty
Where we can live (we can live)
Live a good, good life (ho, ho) and be free
Look how long
400 years (400 years, 400 years), way too long (ho, ho, ho-ho)
And people, my people, can't see (ho, ho, ho-ho)
Said, it's 400 long years (400 years, 400 years)
Give me patience (ho, ho, ho-ho), same philosophy (ho, ho, ho-ho)
It's been 400 years (400 years, 400 years), way so long (ho, ho, ho-ho) (ho, ho, ho-ho)
Look how long 400 (400 years, 400 years) long, long years (ho, ho, ho-ho)
And it's the same (ho, ho, ho-ho), the same philosophy (ho, ho, ho-ho)
I've said it's 400 years (400 years, 400 years), look, how long (ho, ho, ho-ho)
And, the people, they still can't see (ho, ho, ho-ho)
Why do they fight against (fight against)
The poor youth (ho, ho) of today?
And, without these youths (without these youths)
They would be gone (ho, ho), all gone astray
Come on, let's make a move (make a move, make a move)
I can see time (ho, ho, ho-ho), time has come (ho, ho, ho-ho)
And, if the fools don't see (fools don't see, fools don't see)
I can't save the youth (ho, ho, ho-ho), the youth is gonna be strong (ho, ho, ho-ho)
So, won't you come with me? (come with me)
I'll take you to a land (ho, ho) of liberty
Where we can live (we can live)

Look how long

Said, it's 400 long years (400 years, 400 years)
Give me patience (ho, ho, ho-ho), same philosophy (ho, ho, ho-ho)
It's been 400 years (400 years, 400 years), way so long (ho, ho, ho-ho) (ho, ho, ho-ho)
Look how long 400 (400 years, 400 years) long, long years (ho, ho, ho-ho)
