400 Years
Four hundred years (four hundred years, four hundred years)
Mmm-mm-mm (Oh-hoo-ooo)
And it's the same, the same philosophy
I've said it's four hundred years (four hundred years, four hundred years)
Look how long (Oh-hoo-ooo)
And the people they still can't see
Why do they fight against (fight against)
The poor youth of today
And without this youths (without this youths)
They will be gone, all gone astray
Come on, let's make a move (make a move, make a move, oh-hoo-ooo)
I can see time (oh-hoo-ooo)
Time has come
And if-a fools don't see (fools don't see, fools don't see, oh-hoo-ooo)
I can't save the youth
The youth is gonna be strong
So, won't you come with me (come with me)
I'll take you to a land of liberty
Where we can live (we can live)
Live a good, good life and be free
Look how long, four hundred years (four hundred years, four hundred years)
Way too long! (oh-hoo-ooo)
That's the reason my people (oh-hoo-ooo)
My people can't see
Said, it's four hundred long years (four hundred years, four hundred years, oh-hoo-ooo)
Give me patience (oh-hoo-ooo)
Same philosophy
It's been four hundred years (four hundred years, four hundred years)
Wait so long! (oh-hoo-ooo, oh-hoo-ooo)
How long, four hundred (four hundred years, four hundred years)
Long, long years
People hiding from reality
Mmm-mm-mm (Oh-hoo-ooo)
And it's the same, the same philosophy
I've said it's four hundred years (four hundred years, four hundred years)
Look how long (Oh-hoo-ooo)
And the people they still can't see
Why do they fight against (fight against)
The poor youth of today
And without this youths (without this youths)
They will be gone, all gone astray
Come on, let's make a move (make a move, make a move, oh-hoo-ooo)
I can see time (oh-hoo-ooo)
Time has come
And if-a fools don't see (fools don't see, fools don't see, oh-hoo-ooo)
I can't save the youth
The youth is gonna be strong
So, won't you come with me (come with me)
I'll take you to a land of liberty
Where we can live (we can live)
Live a good, good life and be free
Look how long, four hundred years (four hundred years, four hundred years)
Way too long! (oh-hoo-ooo)
That's the reason my people (oh-hoo-ooo)
My people can't see
Said, it's four hundred long years (four hundred years, four hundred years, oh-hoo-ooo)
Give me patience (oh-hoo-ooo)
Same philosophy
It's been four hundred years (four hundred years, four hundred years)
Wait so long! (oh-hoo-ooo, oh-hoo-ooo)
How long, four hundred (four hundred years, four hundred years)
Long, long years
People hiding from reality
