Junior Caldera Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

It's the way that it's going on
They keep killing our people, they know that it's wrong
What are we to do ? Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
It's the way that it's going on
They keep killing our people, they know that it's wrong
What are we to do ? Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh

Till the world is one with so many faces and so many races

Just what is going on
Seems like no one can face it, I'm tired and naked
Days go by, I feel helpless and wander with tears I cry
You know I try, we gotta break the chains so that we can smile

It's the way that it's going on
They keep killing our people, they know that it's wrong
What are we to do ? Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
It's the way that it's going on
They keep killing our people, they know that it's wrong
What are we to do ? Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh

Will there ever be an end to it ? And we are ready for new start
I promise that you will never regret a love that cannot be torn apart

It's the way that it's going on
They keep killing our people, they know that it's wrong
What are we to do ? Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
It's the way that it's going on

They keep killing our people, they know that it's wrong
What are we to do ? Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh.
