Ikaya - These Tears

I see babies having babies
I see mothers running away from the kids
Is like this world gone crazy
Or is the prophecy is being fulfilled

What kind of world are you living in, my sisters
Selling your soul for a dime or a dollar
Brothers are fighting against their brothers
Fathers take advantage of their daughters
And single mothers try to keep their heads above the water
Water, water, water

These tears I cry
The things we hate, the more we see
These tears are mad
I'm hoping for a brighter day
Lord knows I cry
The things we hate, the more we see
My brothers, my sisters, my friends
For the love of us we must change

They still judge us by the colour of our skin
Black has been inferior when beauty is within
Pure is the face but give them no support
Ain't you wonder why your child
Can't get an' A on their report
What is this I see, taking its toll on humanity
Bridges are disappearing
Living in this world is so hard to keep your sanity

These tears I cry
The things we hate, the more we see
These tears are mad
I'm hoping for a brighter day
Lord knows I cry
The things we hate, the more we see
My brothers, my sisters, my friends
For the love of us we must change

What kind of man would leave the mother of his kids
And in the end don't give a damn if she lives
What kind of man would take his mothers life
Remember she gave you life
Oh, what is this I see, it's draining my energy
Frustrated by poverty, when will we be free

These tears I cry
The things we hate, the more we see
These tears are mad
I'm hoping for a brighter day
Lord knows I cry
The things we hate, the more we see
My brothers, my sisters, my friends
For the love of us we must change

My brothers, my sisters, my friends
For the love of us we must change

These tears I cry
The things we hate, the more we see
These tears are mad
I'm hoping for a brighter day
Lord knows I cry
The things we hate, the more we see
My brothers, my sisters, my friends
For the love of us we must change

For the love of us we must change
For the love of us we must change
For the love of us we must change
