Elephant lyrics

I hear the children play.

With the guards of the jail.

With the guards of the jail.

With the guards of the jail.

I'm thinking of a new name.

That I could give myself.

One day I’ll be myself.

One day I’ll be my own.

It’s been forty long years.

In the desert, I have been.

I’ve even hit the devil’s nose.

In the desert, I have grown.

And as the woman said,

That day when I was crying out.

God puts his diamonds in the sand.

But then he always takes them back.

Have a good day brother.

Me and your sister will rise up.

Like an elephant from the mud.

In your carefree sleep.

We will break free…

We will break free…

Have a good day brother.

Me and your little bro will rise up.

Like an elephant from the storm.

In your carefree sleep.

We will break free…

We will break free…

And the city will be reborn.

And the streets will be washed.

May the streets be clean and washed.

May the streets be clean and washed.

And we will wave our hand.

And everybody will forgive the past.

And everybody will forgive the past.

And everybody will forgive the past.

And as the woman said.

That day when I was crying out.

God puts his diamonds in the sand.

But then he always takes them back.

Have a good day brother.

Me and your sister will rise up.

Like an elephant from the mud.

In your carefree sleep.

We will break free…

We will break free…

Have a good day brother.

You and my little bro will rise up.

Like an elephant from the storm.

In your carefree sleep.

We will break free…

We will break free…

Have a good day brother.

Me and your sister will rise up.

Like an elephant from the mud.

In your carefree sleep.

We will break free…

We will break free…

Have a good day brother.

You and my little bro will rise up.

Like an elephant from the storm.

In your carefree sleep.

We will break free…

We will break free…

I'm thinking of a new name.

That I could give myself.

One day I’ll be myself.

One day I’ll be my own.

I'm thinking of a new name.

That I could give myself.

One day I’ll be myself.

One day I’ll be my own.
