Beautiful Nubia and the Roots Renaissance Band — We Live Here Too lyrics

Lyrics

As it was in the beginning, so it is in these times
Man’s greed knows no bounds and he will trample
On anything and anyone in his search for glory
And the quest for wealth and fame
But the inheritors of pain cry out
«We are here!» and I am there too
Yes lord, I am here; we live here too
Don’t underestimate us, we’re not fools; watch us!
We’ve seen the likes before
Mighty armies straddling the whole world, seemingly unbeatable
But, just like time, everything passes
They will fall, they will scatter and their armor
Will be of no use in the hands of the master
And the witnesses of history cry out
«We are here!» and I am there too
Yeah lord, I am here; we live here too
Don’t underestimate us, we’re many; watch us!
Soon will come this time, I’m saying
When the king of the north marches upon the lands of the south
Pestilence, anger and anguish walk hand in hand
On this terrible day when the sun turns dark
But it’s only just for a while
A new day cometh, bright new dawn, sun shining, happy people singing
«We are here!» and I am there too
Yes lord, I am there; we live here too
