Manifest Destiny   





Four hundred years or more 

Since you came to crucify 

They were taken far from home 

There were promises of paradise 

But if they had been told that day 

They would be told that this way 

To satisfy the souls of chosen men 

See I had to look carefully 

At the same of my ancestry 

To re-define the story line again. 

 

If I was taken for a day 

And shown another day 

Every child can learn a different thing 

See I tried a million times 

But I had to change my mind 

Sadness was the best thing I could bring 

On the inside he was dead and this is what he said 

As he took away the bloom above the clouds 

Superiority was clearly meant to be 

So destiny will manifest in time. 

 

So where has the love all gone 

A troubled trail of tears will tell the take 

Of how I was put down where I don't belong 

Woman, Child and man for sale 

For ethical slavery is just an absurdity 

Now can you be alive when you are dead 

With these chains of hypocrisy 

The same of my ancestry 

Forever stained by blood in wich you trad.
