Текст K’naan — In The Beginning

They say it’s better to light a candle then to curse the dark
In the eyes of the youth there are question marks
Like freedom
Freedom for the mind and soul
We don’t see them
See them for their worth at all
That’s why we lead ’em
Lead ’em to these wars
and what is it we feed ’em?
Feed ’em our impurities
and who it is we treat ’em?
Treat ’em like the enemy —
Humanity will need ’em
Need ’em like the blood we spill
and where freedom?
Freedom for the heart to fill,
Mislead ’em
They hunger for the love we give
But we cheat him
The cops beat him
When all he wants is his freedom
So they defeat ’em wit every ??? he’s got, beat him
And they teach him the rest of the world
Don’t need him
And he believes with the disease that
He’s heathen
Put up your fists if all you want is freedom
Put up your fists if all you want is …
(Le le le la…)
That was in the beginning (le le le la..)
And things change (le le le la…)
