I Have Been Searching

I have been searching
I promise i will change
But everyday am still same
I cant stop to be me
My soul it never leave me cold
I have a urge 
So now i got this needs 

I have been searching 
I promise i will change
But everday i keep learning 
This experience i pass through 
everyday 
Is not ordinary 
This circumstances surrounding african
 is just
 too stupid to ignore 
So i keep asking
The WHY" never stop coming
 after and after another 

I have been searching 
I promise i will change
But now am still same
I keep searching 
So i keep moving
I keep searching for mankind 
So it mysteries brought me
 to an addiction 
I wanted to just hope
But my heart is far from it
So i keep searching 
Searching why africa
 is what it is now in our 21st
Century 
Searching why blacks are so 
discriminated world wide
Yet africa feed the world
Oh i promise to change
But this things cant change me

I have been searching 
I promise i will change
But how can i change 
with this troubles from yesterday's 
How can i change to know 
how not to love 
How can i change when 
there is no change in my country 
I promise to change but 
It Caught me searching 
I keep searching for mankind
I keep searching  for Africa unity
I keep searching for africans prides
I keep searching so i cant change me
I promise i will change
Yet not until all is equal as one

I have been searching 
I promise i will change yet
I feel helpless in this road
 of life we all trade on
I feel helpless with the promises
 of the men from the hill of political powers 
I feel confuse when i see
The good man yet die young
I feel handicaped when the great 
fall so soon right in front 
of our view
It makes me think when i see all
 this poverty all over my country 
It marvels me when i hear the amount 
of income my country loses 
everytime to greedy men 
Oh i keep searching 
What is the reason for all this calamity 
Since i have a soul 
Right deep the heart it dwells in me
So it does in everyone
My spirit leads my mind
So this time too long 
I just cant be just here
On this quest 
I have been searching
