Letra de Weeping (Live 2007)
This is a very important song that I found in South Africa About at the end of apartheid It's especially important in the world that we live in today, it's a song about peace A song about change And a song about hopeI knew a man who lived in fear It was huge, it was angry, it was drawing near Behind his house, a secret place Was the shadow of a demon he could never faceHe built a wall of steel and flame And men with guns to keep it tame And standing back, he made it plain That the nightmare would never, ever rise again But the fear and the fire and the guns remain (come on)It doesn't matter now, it's over anyhow He tells the world that it's sleeping But as the night came 'round I heard its lonely sound It wasn't roaring, it was weeping It wasn't roaring, it was weepingAnd then one day, the neighbors came They were curious to know about the smoke and flame They stood around, outside the wall But of course, there was nothing to be heard at all"My friends", he said "We've reached our goal The threat is under firm control As long as peace and order reign I'll be damned if I can see no reason to explain Why the fear and the fire and the guns remain"It doesn't matter now, it's over anyhow He tells the world that it's sleeping, oh But as the night came 'round I heard its lonely sound It wasn't roaring, it was weeping It wasn't roaring, it was weepingSay ah, say ah (come on) Say ah, ah, ah Say ah, say ah, say ah, ahhMa, ma, ma, say ah Ma, ma, ma, say ah Ma, ma, ma, say ah Ma, ma, ma, say ah(On the bass, Mr. Andre Manga!) Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeahIt doesn't matter now It's over anyhow It doesn't matter now It's over anyhow (Oh, come on!)It doesn't matter now, it's over anyhow He tells the world that it's sleeping But as the night came 'round I heard its only sound It wasn't roaring, it was weeping It wasn't roaring, it was weepingSay ah (come on), say ah Say ah, ah, ah Say ah, say ah (Say ah, ah, ah, say ah, say ah, say aah) ooh... Say ah, say ah Say ah, ah, ah
