Letra de Manifest Destiny - Jamiroquai

As I remember

It was 400 years or more

Since you came to crucify

And they were taken far away from home

There were promises of paradise

But if they had been told that they

That they would be sold this way

To satisfy the souls of chosen men

See, I had to look carefully

At the shame of my ancestry

To redefine the storyline again

Hey, if I was taken for a day

And shown another way

Now every child can learn a different thing

See, I tried a million times

But I had to change my mind, oh

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 blue above the clouds, oh

"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 tale

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

Woman, child and man for sale

For ethical slavery is just an absurdity

How can you be alive when you are dead?

With these chains of hypocrisy

The shame of my ancestry

Forever stained by blood in which you tread (hey, yeah)

If I was taken for a day

And shown another way

Now every child can learn a different thing

See, I tried a million times

But I had to change my mind, oh

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 blue above the clouds, oh

"Superiority was clearly meant to be

So destiny will manifest itself in time", yeah

So where has the love all gone?

Said I wanna know, I wanna know

I wanna know, I wanna know, I

Oh, somebody tell me where the love has all gone

Said I want to know why

Hey!
