Our little secret is between you and me,
So please promise to let this go, let it be,
Forget everything you've heard and seen,
'cuz we gotta stick together, gotta stay as a team
Well I'll break the walls of family secrecy,
What's wrong is wrong, I'll never let it be,
I won't waste away my life with this shame,
I'll speak the truth and free myself from this game
So now you call me a trader, hater
You just see me as the conflict bringer,
All I wanna do is set us free,Can't you see
It holds us down, barely let's us breath
CHORUS:
Well I see through this game
and I don't wanna play
VERSE 2
Well I'm comin' out of the hidden lies,
I won't lie and hide because of family ties,
I've had enough I want you to realize,
If you could only see right through my eyes,
Trust me, Listen to me, do what's right
Or you'll never free your heart from your mind
Rise up and you will find let the truth loose,
Don't protect the lies
CHORUS
Well I see through this game, yeah
and I don't want to play
BRIDGE
Well I guess I didn't know how to say no
Always kept it to myself, But now I gotta say no
Cuz I say so, we be frontin' from the get go
Out of love to all of the family cuz
We must
CHORUS
Well I see through this game
and I don't wanna play
Play
Play
PlayTrapped in a moment of history
You changed the world and the day was yours
Laughing sun flashing from your smile
Your beach-bronzed body braced against the wind
But you forgot the wheel keeps turning
And one day the dawn left you behind
And though I tried to love you
I really have to go
'Cause the world is leaving you behind
The world is leaving you behind
The world is leaving you behind
Chorus
I'll sing an African litany for you
An African litany for me
An African litany for you
And I hope we see these times through
I think this dream is going to end
The past is no longer your friend
Memory upon memory binds you into a timeless web
'Cause you forgot the wheel keeps turning
And one day the dawn left you behind
And now you're trapped there forever
Till the embers of that glowing day have died
Till the embers of that glowing day have died
Till the embers of that glowing day have died
Chorus African! Litany!
African! Litany!
I'll sing an African litany for you
Fare thee well and fond adieu
An African litany for me
I hope we see these times through
