Motherland - Şevin

All the money that you make

All of the finer things you own

All of the food that’s on your plate

Ain’t gon' mean nothing when you gone

You been in darkness for so long

You don’t believe that there’s no light

You’ve got a devil on your back

You won’t defeat it if you won’t fight

I know that we would heal if we

Only would kneel and pray

Please Lord don’t tear us apart

Just show me the way

I won’t sleep a day

Until my people make a new start

I don’t need the motherland

There’s no going back from here

I just need my brother’s hand

No there’s no going back

We don’t need no motherland

There’s no going back from here

We just need each other’s hand

We just need each other’s hand

Father mercy mercy me

Destruction is all my eyes can see

It’s gotta be more than life can be

There’s gotta be more to life than this

Heaven around this windy bend

Seems like the pain will never end

'Specially when losing all my friends

Lord You are the Savior we need

You’re all that we live for

You are the only hope that we ever gon' see out here

You are the only reason to smile out here

You are the only love that we’re every gon' see out here

I don’t need the motherland

There’s no going back from here

I just need my brother’s hand

No there’s no going back

We don’t need no motherland

There’s no going back from here

We just need each other’s hand

We just need each other’s hand

All that I’ll ever need is my brother’s hand

Africa can’t teach me how to love

I said

Only You can

And America will never be enough

No

Only You can

Only You can

Only You can

Only You can

Only You can

I don’t need the motherland

There’s no going back from here

I just need my brother’s hand

No there’s no going back

We don’t need no motherland

There’s no going back from here

We just need each other’s hand

We just need each other’s hand

I need you more than I need anything in this world

Oh yeah
