Sweet Waters
Hey, ooh-no, no, no
No, no, no, no
No, no, no, no
No, no, no, no, no, no
Ooh-no, no, no
No, no, no, no
No, no, no, no
No, no, no, no, no, no
Ooh-no, no, no
No, no, no, no
No, no, no, no, no, no
Hey, ya, hey
Sweet passing waters that run away, ah-huh
I was caught up by a wave that
Took my breath away, breath away, hey ya, hey
Sweet passing waters that run away, ah-huh
I was caught up by a wave that (that)
Took my breath away, breath away
Hey ya, hey ya, hey (hey-hey, ya)
Hey ya, hey ya, hey (hey-hey, ya)
Hey ya, hey ya, hey (hey-hey, ya)
Hey ya, hey ya, hey (hey-hey, ya)
Sweet waters, (ooh, nah, nah, ay, ooh, nah, nah, ay)
These sweet waters, (ooh, nah, nah, ay, ooh, nah, nah, ay)
These sweet waters, (ooh, nah, nah, ay, ooh, nah, nah, ay)
These sweet waters, (ooh, nah, nah, ay, ooh, nah, nah, ay)
(Oh, no, no)
Came from a place that was grey, black, (black)
Lemme take you way back
To a stage where my race was shaved back, (back)
They'd hate 'cause the shade black
They came on the waves, left us slaves, fast-
-forward more than a couple ages
After Independence Day, now the place black, (black)
But from the graves that we've made, crap
(Who'd, who'd), who'd a thought, we'd be seeing human thorns
And horns adorned on human skulls, like, (like)
Tumours or other tubular musical tools
That toot through tubes, that too are found within the horn of Africa
Fast famine stirs, mad massacres that manage to
Land in the heart of it, Congo
Damaged by war, so of course we're forced to sail to other shores,
Oars in these
Sweet passing waters that run away, ah-huh
I was caught up by a wave that
Took my breath away, breath away, hey ya, hey
Sweet passing waters that run away, ah-huh
I was caught up by a wave that (that)
Took my breath away, breath away
Hey ya, hey ya, hey (hey-hey, ya)
Hey ya, hey ya, hey (hey-hey, ya)
Hey ya, hey ya, hey (hey-hey, ya)
Hey ya, hey ya, hey (hey-hey, ya)
Sweet waters, (ooh, nah, nah, let me take you way back)
These sweet waters, (let me take you way back)
These sweet waters, (let me take you way back)
These sweet waters, (let me take you way back)
(Hey, ya)
No, no, no, no
No, no, no, no
No, no, no, no, no, no
Ooh-no, no, no
No, no, no, no
No, no, no, no
No, no, no, no, no, no
Ooh-no, no, no
No, no, no, no
No, no, no, no, no, no
Hey, ya, hey
Sweet passing waters that run away, ah-huh
I was caught up by a wave that
Took my breath away, breath away, hey ya, hey
Sweet passing waters that run away, ah-huh
I was caught up by a wave that (that)
Took my breath away, breath away
Hey ya, hey ya, hey (hey-hey, ya)
Hey ya, hey ya, hey (hey-hey, ya)
Hey ya, hey ya, hey (hey-hey, ya)
Hey ya, hey ya, hey (hey-hey, ya)
Sweet waters, (ooh, nah, nah, ay, ooh, nah, nah, ay)
These sweet waters, (ooh, nah, nah, ay, ooh, nah, nah, ay)
These sweet waters, (ooh, nah, nah, ay, ooh, nah, nah, ay)
These sweet waters, (ooh, nah, nah, ay, ooh, nah, nah, ay)
(Oh, no, no)
Came from a place that was grey, black, (black)

Hey ya, hey ya, hey (hey-hey, ya)
Hey ya, hey ya, hey (hey-hey, ya)
Hey ya, hey ya, hey (hey-hey, ya)
Hey ya, hey ya, hey (hey-hey, ya)
Sweet waters, (ooh, nah, nah, let me take you way back)
These sweet waters, (let me take you way back)
These sweet waters, (let me take you way back)
These sweet waters, (let me take you way back)
(Hey, ya)
