7 Seconds lyrics

by

Marvin Gaye


[Verse 1: Youssou N'Dour]
Boul ma sene, boul ma guiss madi re nga fokni mane
Khamouma li neka thi sama souf ak thi guinaw
Beugouma kouma khol dal diné yaw li neka si yaw
Mo ne si man, li ne si mane moye dilene diapale

[Verse 2: Neneh Cherry]
Roughness and rudeness, we should be using
On the ones who practise wicked charms
For the sword and the stone, bad to the bone
Battle's not over, even when it's won
And when a child is born, into this world
It has no concept of the tone of skin it's living in

[Chorus: Neneh Cherry & Youssou N’Dour]
It's not a second—we're seven seconds away
Or just as long as I stay; I'll be waiting
It's not a second—we're seven seconds away
Or just as long as I stay; I'll be waiting
I'll be waiting...I'll be waiting

[Verse 3: Youssou N'Dour]
J'assume les raisons qui nous poussent de changer tout
J'aimerais qu'on oublie leurs couleurs pour qu'ils espèrent
Beaucoup de sentiments de races qui font qu'ils désespèrent
Je veux les deux mains ouvertes
Des amis pour parler de leurs peines, et de leur joie
Pour qu'ils leur aient des infos qui ne divisent pas—
Changez!
[Chorus: Neneh Cherry & Youssou N’Dour]
7 seconds away, or just as long as I stay
I'll be waiting
It's not a second–we're seven seconds away
Or just as long as I stay; I'll be waiting
I'll be waiting...I'll be waiting

[Bridge: Neneh Cherry & Youssou N’Dour]
And when a child is born into this world
It has no concept of the tone of skin it's living in
And there's a... million voices!
And there's a... million voices
To tell you what you should be thinking so
You better sober up for just a second

[Outro: Neneh Cherry & Youssou N’Dour]
We're 7 seconds away
Or just as long as I stay; I'll be waiting
It's not a second—we're 7 seconds away
Or just as long as I stay, I'll be waiting
It's not a second; we're 7 seconds away
Just as long as I stay, I'll be waiting
It's not a second, we're 7 seconds away
Or just as long as I stay; I'll be waiting
It's not a second; we're 7 seconds away
For just as long as I stay, I'll be waiting...
