Majek Fashek - So Long lyrics

Arise from your sleep Africa<br />

Arise from your sleep America<br />

<br />

There's work to be done Africa<br />

There's work to be done America<br />

<br />

if we unite, we will be free so long, for too long<br />

so long, for too long<br />

<br />

we've been sitting down for so oooo long<br />

we've been fooling round for too oooo long<br />

we've been sitting down for so oooo long<br />

<br />

so long, so long<br />

for too long, for too long<br />

<br />

Oh Lord, can you hear me now<br />

Oh Lord<br />

<br />

<br />

<br />

Remember, remember, long long time ago<br />

when we used to live like prince and princess<br />

<br />

Remember, remember, the pyramids of Egypt<br />

when we used to live like prince and princess<br />

<br />

Remember, remember,Marcus Garvey<br />

Who had a dream for new Africa<br />

<br />

Remember, remember, Martin luther King<br />

Who had a dream for new America<br />

<br />

They say you are black, they say you are brown<br />

They say dem white, they say you are brown<br />

<br />

But only the Angels of God is white<br />

But only the Angels of God is white<br />

<br />

so long, so long<br />

for too long, for too long<br />

we've been sitting down for so oooo long<br />

we've been fooling round for too oooo long<br />

<br />

<br />

Arise from your sleep Africa<br />

Arise from your sleep America<br />

<br />

There's work to be done Africa<br />

There's work to be done America<br />

<br />

if we unite, we will be free so long, for too long<br />

so long, for too long<br />

<br />

<br />

<br />

Remember, remember, Marcus Garvey<br />

Who had a dream for new Africa<br />

<br />

Remember, remember, Martin luther King<br />

Who had a dream for new America<br />

<br />

Remember, remember, King Selassie<br />

Who was betrayed by his people<br />

<br />

Remember, remember, Lord Jesus Christ<br />

Who died for you and I to gain salvation<br />

<br />

They say you are black,[do you believe?]<br />

they say you are brown [do you believe?]<br />

<br />

But only the Angels of God is white<br />

But only the Angels of Jah is white<br />

<br />

we've been sitting down for so oooo long<br />

we've been fooling round for too oooo long<br />

<br />

so long, so long<br />

for too long, for too long<br />

<br />

so long, so long<br />

for too long, for too long
