Stranded (Haiti mon amour)
When the sky falls and the earth quakes
We gonna put this back together, we won’t break
When the sky falls and the earth quakes
We gonna put this back together, we won’t break

Sak Pase my Port au Princes
My Haitian gods and all of my princesses
Our condolences as you’re fighting against this
We’re right by your side while we try to make sense of this

Heavenly father,
Help us see through these problems
And for those that left
Accept them into your garden
See here’s my theory
The country’s already starving
So we sacrifice many
To shed light on all of them

God please pardon,
I speak from the heart
It’s the only way I see this tragedy befalling them
So let’s get involved with them
Hand to hand with them, arm to arm with them
Until they get strong again
When the sky falls

Not tomorrow
Can’t wait until tomorrow

Hey, Haiti a mi amore,
Haiti mon amour
Not gonna leave you stranded
Oh no, oh no, oh no

When the sky falls and the earth quakes
We gonna put this back together, we won’t break
When the sky falls and the earth quakes
We gonna put this back together, we won’t break

We learn from the past
New Orleans was flooded
So we know
We just can’t rely on the government
We under the rubble again
Who we go rumblin’ with
When we gonna catch a break
My friend lost his mother, and then
And then
Colleen lost her uncles, and them
Buried with no caskets, they just put covers on them

And the tears fall, and we fight back
The story ain’t done, it can’t end like that
No not like this
This mob of survivors gonna carry on your name
You live on inside us
Your memories alive with us
You inspired us to rebuild this country
You just guide us

Not tomorrow
Can’t wait until tomorrow

Hey, Haiti a mi amore,
Haiti mon amour
Not gonna leave you stranded, hey
Not gonna leave you stranded
Oh no, oh no

It’s not the angels that are on their way
It’s not the bells of Sainte Trinité
The people waiting, position vacant
For hands to help, not just to pray

Hey, Haiti a mi amore,
Haiti mon amour
Not gonna leave you stranded, hey
Not gonna leave you stranded
(Not gonna leave) Oh no, oh no

Haïti va s’élever
Tu vas te relever
Nous nous éléverons
Ensemble ensemble ensemble

We’re gonna put this back together, we won't break
Not gonna leave stranded
We’re gonna put this back together, we won't break
We’re gonna put this back together, we won't break
