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
