Madagascar [Portuguese translation]

I won't be told anymore

That I've been brought down in this storm

And left so far out from the shore

But I can't find my way back, my way anymore

Oh no, I won't be told anymore

That I've been brought down in this storm

And left so far out from the shore

Oh that I can't find my way back, my way anymore

No, I, I

Forgive them that tear down my soul

And bless them that they might grow old

And free them so that they may know

That it's never too late

For the many times what seemed like a memory

I've searched and found the way

You used to lure me in

Oh, I found the ways, oh, why it had to be

Mired in denial and so afraid

If we ever find it's true

That we have the strength to choose

Oh, free of all the chains

We have together

“I'm gonna tell you a story”

“Stand up for righteousness”

“Eh..what...”

“Stand up for justice”

“Eh.. what...”

“Stand up for truth”

“How can a person grow up with all this around them?”

“You gotta call on that something”

“Where does it come from?”

“That can make a way out of no way?”

“All this hatred”

“What we've got here is...”

“Fear”

“That power that can make a way out of no way”

“Failure to communicate”

“I tell ya I've seen a lightning flash,

I've heard the thunder roar”

“Everybody's actin’ like we can do anything

and it don't matter what we do

Maybe we gotta be extra careful,

because maybe it matters more

than we even know.”

“Sometimes”

“Hatred isn't something you're born with”

“I feel discouraged”

“It gets taught”

“Sometimes I feel discouraged”

“I felt this...fear!”

“He promised never to leave me,

never to leave me alone.

No, never alone, no, never alone.”

“Let's get sometin' straight alright”

“He promised never to leave me.”

“This whole thing is fucked up!”

“Never to leave me alone.”

“Well, all men betray, all lose heart”

“I don't wanna lose heart! I wanna believe!”

“Black men and White men together

at the table of brotherhood, I have a dream.”

“Free at last, free at last.”

“Thank God almighty. We are free at last!”

Oh I won't be told anymore

(if we ever find it's true)

That I've been brought down in this storm

(that we have the strength to choose)

And left so far out from the shore

(Oh, freed of all the chains)

That I can't find my way back, my way anymore

(We have together)

Oh no, I won't be told anymore

(if we ever find it's true)

That I've been brought down in this storm

(that we have the strength to choose)

And left so far out from the shore

(Oh, freed of all the chains)

That I can't find my way back, my way anymore

(We held together)
