VERSE1
Another sunset - Please don't forget
Another sunset - Please don't forget
The earthquake
When the ground shake
And the grave take
Too many people too many
Let your tears fall for them all
Let your heart quake when a nation breaks
Let your voice be heard there's so much at stake
Different colors, different countries but we all the same
CHORUS
Ayiti Cherie Oh, Oh, Oh (X4)
VERSE2
Under blue tarps with broken hearts
The rain is yet to fall
Building, churches schools and homes
And people forced to leave it all
Scattered hillsides and valleys
Down city streets and alleys
Hungry tired and alone
Surviving far away from home
Memories of tragedy
Haunting their beds when they asleep
The sounds of screams and weeping
Mothers, brothers, sisters, fathers, lovers
Buildings crumble to the ground
Many lives lost, some never found
Bodies piled in the street
So many others trapped beneath
The rubble everywhere you see
Fear in every face you meet
So come on people gather round
Ayiti needs to hear the sound
(hear the sound, hear the sound X2)
(Ge Espwa Ge Espwa)
Shaken not forsaken
Devastated but still strong
There is beauty in your broken
HO O O OPE, this is your song
Sing along, sing along
CHORUS [WITH CHOIR]
Ayiti Cherie Oh, Oh, Oh (X4)
CHOIR:
Ge Espwa (repeated during rap)
RAP (in Creole):
Ayiti Cheri
nou pop janmi bliye
sa ki te pase
anpil ti moun mouiri
anpil gran moun mouri,
anpil kay kaze,
anpil moui nap monde
bon die di you mo pou nou.
ou se pil Bon die se ou
menwe ki kapab ede nou
Di you mo pou nou sun an (bis).
Di you mo pou nou uh uh
CHORUS
Ayiti Cherie Oh, Oh, Oh

i cannot even say a word
the flight of the bird will lead me home
I cannot even say a word
the flight of the bird will lead you home
where is my home?
there is no place for me to rest my head
no place to call my own
no home for me
if you've no place to go
then spread your wings
i cannot even say a word
the flight of the bird will lead me home
I cannot even say a word
the flight of the bird will lead you home
you are my home
there is no other place to rest my head
my resting is my flight
the rainclouds my bed
with mysteries unsaid
you set my sight
i cannot even say a word
haven't you heard
nobody knows how the wind comes and goes
nobody knows how the wind comes and goes
nobody knows how the wind comes and goes
i cannot even say a word
the flight of the bird will lead you home
