Manifest Destiny

'Cause I remember

It was four hundred years or more

Since you came to crucify

And they were taken far away from homeThere were promises of paradise

But if they had been told that day

That they would be sold this way

To satisfy the souls of chosen menSee I had to look carefully

At the shame of my ancestry

To redefine the story line againHey, if I was taken for a day and shown another way

Now every child can learn a different thing

See I tried a million times but I had to change my mind

Oh, sadness was the best thing I can bringOn the inside he was dead and this is what he said

As he took away the bloom above the clouds

Oh, superiority was clearly meant to be

So destiny will manifest in timeSo where has love all gone?

A troubled trail of tears will tell the take

Of how I was put down where I don't belong

Woman, child and man for saleFor ethical slavery is just an absurdity

How can you be alive when you are dead?

With these chains of hypocrisy, the shame of my ancestry

Forever stained by blood in which you treadHey, if I was taken for a day and shown another way

Oh, now every child can learn a different thing

See I tried a million times but I had to change my mind

Oh, sadness was the best thing I can bringOn the inside he was dead, oh, and this is what he said

As he took away the bloom above the clouds

Oh, superiority was clearly meant to be

So destiny will manifest in timeSo where has the love all gone

So wanna know where, wanna know where

Wanna know where, wanna know where

Somebody tell me where the love has all gone
