I Told You
I Told You
By Bobo Kalenga
I told you that we were good!
I told you that drying up our tears so fast
Doesn’t make our sorrow go away
I told you that one day we'll be free from the darkness
And we will stop singing our blues.
I told that summer was coming
And we will show our real beauty
I told you all of that and even asked you
To let us live with our eyes open
I told you that we were not strangers,
When things don’t matter but our colors do.
I told you that we wanted to keep our colors
Because summer is at the door,
I told you that we knew who we were and what we want.
I told you that we didn’t want
To be ignored while our tears caused Global Warming
But to be heard,
That we are not strangers
Or victims but survivors.
I told you all of that because
I knew that our destiny in men's hands but God's,
Look at us now, we blossomed by the first touch
Of the sun and He has justified
Us as survivals but not as victims
Of being Beautiful and Rich.
