The song is Michael W Smith’s song “We Can’t Wait Any Longer” – It is simply a call to us all to help the needy, poor, and homeless, the victims of war torn countries and the aids epidemic, the impoverished and enslaved.
A silent call from a distant land We can’t wait any longer Another child is laid to rest Yuko awezayo kusikia kilio chetu? (Can somebody hear us crying out?)
Crying for a helping hand, so
How long will it go on?
Ignorance and vanity
Supercede humanity, so
How long it will go on?
I want to know how long will it go on?
They crying out, doesn’t matter
We can’t wait any longer
No, no. Too long in a slumber
Shake it up,wake it up now.
We can’t any longer. No, no.
Another day of hopelessnes, so
How long it will go on?
And every day we’re on the fence brings
Another fatal consequence, so
How long will it go on?
I want to know, how long will it go on?
Twaomba msaada wenu (Somebody help us)
Aweko mwenye kuttuoka (Somebody save us)
Aweko mwenye kutupa uhuru (Somebody free us)
