Dear Haiti 03:55
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
