Rihanna, Jay-Z, Bono and The Edge - Stranded (Haiti Mon Amour) lyrics

rate me

[Jay-Z - Chorus]

When the sky falls and the Earth quakes

We gonna put this back together

We won’t break

[repeat]

[Jay-Z]

sak pase, my port-au-princes

my Haitian Gods and all of my Princesses

Our condolences as you fighting against this

we right by your side as we trying to make sense of this

heavenly father help us see through these problems

and for those thats left accept them into your garden

so here’s my theory, the country’s already starving

so we sacrificed many to shed light on all of them

God please pardon me, I speak from the heart

its the only way I see this tragedy befalling them

so lets get involved with them, hand to hand with them

arm to arm with them til they get strong again,

When the sky falls…

(Rihanna and Bono – hook)

Can’t wait until tomorrow

Haiti, Mon Amour

Haiti, Mon Amour

Not gonna leave you stranded, alone, alone

oh no

[Chorus]

[Jay-Z Verse 2]

We learned from the past

New Orleans was flooded

So we know we just can’t rely on the government

We under the rubble again

here we go rumbling when, when we gon catch a break

my friend lost a mother and then (and then)

lost some uncles and then

buried with no caskets they just put covers on them

and the tears fall and we fight back

story ain’t done, can’t end like that

nah not like this, tomorrow survivors gon carry on your name

you live on inside us, your memories alive with us

you inspired us, to rebuild this country, you just guide us

[Hook]

[Bono]

Its not the angels that are on there way

its not the bells of santa trinite

the people waiting, position vacant

for hands to help, not just to pray

[Hook]

[Chorus]

[singing]

[Jay-Z]

we gon put this back together we wont break

we gon put this back together we wont break

we gon put this back together we wont break

we gon put this back together we wont break

[End]
