Manifest Destiny - Jamiroquai

Manifest Destiny LRC歌词

[00:40.35]As I remember

[00:41.77]It was four hundred years or more

[00:45.84]

[00:47.66]Since you came to crucify

[00:50.68]

[00:52.27]And they were taken far away from home

[00:57.27]There were promises of paradise

[01:01.15]

[01:02.54]But if they had been told that day

[01:05.36]That they would be sold that this way

[01:07.92]

[01:08.43]To satisfy the souls of chosen men

[01:12.59]See I had to look carefully

[01:15.76]At the shame of my ancestry

[01:18.93]To redefine the storyline again

[01:23.06]Hey if I was taken for a day

[01:26.67]And shown another way

[01:29.35]Now every child can learn a different thing

[01:33.86]

[01:34.67]See I tried a million times

[01:37.12]But I had to change my mind

[01:40.20]Sadness was the best thing I could bring

[01:43.70]

[01:44.95]On the inside he was dead and this is what he said

[01:50.33]As he took away the blue above the clouds

[01:54.59]

[01:55.63]Superiority was clearly meant to be

[02:00.74]So destiny will manifest in time

[02:05.15]

[02:07.44]So where has the love all gone

[02:11.38]A troubled trail of tears will tell the tale

[02:15.19]

[02:15.88]Of how I was put down where I don't belong

[02:22.22]Woman child and man for sale

[02:25.09]

[02:26.72]For ethical slavery is just an absurdity

[02:32.53]How can you be alive when you are dead

[02:36.31]

[02:36.92]With these chains of hypocrisy

[02:39.92]The shame of my ancestry

[02:43.26]Forever stained by blood in which you tread

[02:47.12]

[02:48.10]If I was taken for a day

[02:50.64]And shown another way

[02:53.26]Now every child can learn a different thing

[02:56.93]

[02:57.92]See I tried a million times

[03:01.30]But I had to change my mind

[03:04.00]Sadness was the best thing I could bring

[03:07.90]

[03:09.02]On the inside he was dead and this is what he said

[03:13.73]

[03:14.54]As he took away the blue above the clouds

[03:17.93]

[03:19.54]Superiority was clearly meant to be

[03:24.46]So destiny will manifest itself in time

[03:29.00]

[03:31.38]So where has the love all gone

[03:34.65]
