HOW LONG WILL IT TAKE :
When I stretched out
And closed my eyes
I found I couldn’t relax
Couldn’t relax
I stretched out further and took
A deep breath
Deep breath dizziness in my head
How long will it take (X2)
I watched them pull him away
Until he was out of sight
Far away
As I walked away
I wondered where
My mind was going
Going
How long will it take( X4)
The preacher came
And prayed for me
And left my life
In the hands of Jesus
Firing squad
He looked at me
Then shot me a smile
Deep breath
Dizziness in my head
Firing squad
I looked again at the soldiers
A chill went up
Up my spine
How long will it take …..
LEAVING TOWN :
I’m leaving
I’m leaving town
I’m leaving
I’m leaving town
I guess you are
Wondering why
Wondering why
I’m leaving town
Well, the day began
With news
About the trouble in town
I saw them run
You can see it in their eyes
You can see it in their eyes
I saw them run
I’m leaving , I’m leaving town (X2)
I guess you are wondering why
Wondering why I’m leaving town
Well, the day began
With the radio man
Saying that it’s war
I saw them run
You can see it in their eyes
I can see it in their eyes
I saw them run
Wululu Wululu ma we
Ye Wululu Wululu ma we
Wululu Wululu ma we
Ye Wululu Wululu ma we
Talk to me when I go wrong
Cover me when I feel cold
Lead me when I go blind
Wululu Wululu ma we
Ye Wululu Wululu ma we
BACK TO TOP BOMBS ARE FALLING :
Bombs are falling
Our nations are burning
Bombs are falling
And leaves are drying
Bombs are falling
What a careless world
Our mothers are crying
Where are all the children
The wind keeps blowing
Expensive bombs are falling
The wind keeps blowing
It will blow your words away
Give me your number
I’ll call you tomorrow
I don’t want your number
We have to talk face to face
Bombs keep falling
People keep dying
Fields are burning
Mothers keep crying
Bombs keep falling
Mothers keep crying
Fields are burning
Mountains are falling
…(X2)
All the fields are burning
Even mountains are falling
Everything seems crazy
The whole world is falling apart
Do you believe in something
There seems to be no love anymore
When you cut the skin
Whatever flows is red
Bombs keep falling
People keep dying
Fields are burning
Mothers keep crying
….( X2)
Bombs keep falling
Mothers keep crying
Fields are burning
Mountains are falling

FEELING LONELY :
If you want to be sure
Of your love
Close your eyes
And walk in the dark
If the doors of love
Are closed on you
Then walk
Till the end of love
When I kissed your lips
I heard a violin in my head
And open my eyes saw starts everywhere
I’m feeling lonely
Sometimes when you’re down
You lose touch with love
And start
Feeling lonely
Move and kick the dust
Off the ground
Shake that thing
And stop feeling lonely
Feeling lonely (X4)
When I kissed your lips
I heard a violin in my head
I’ve been dancing
With your shadow
The dust in my head
The wind of love is blowing
I can feel it in my head
….( X2)
I’m feeling lonely
Feeling lonely (X4)
Sometimes when you’re down
You lose touch with love
And start
Feeling lonely
Feeling lonely (X8)
LOOKING FOR LOVE :
Dear Son,
Dear Brother,
Dear Friend,
Dear Lover,
It’s been such a long time
I haven’t heard from you
It’s been such a long time
I haven’t seen your naughty smile
It’s been such a long time
I haven’t seen your face
It’s been such a long time
I haven’t heard your cry
You’re always looking for love
Like a child you’re always
Searching for mischief
I’ve been looking for love
All my life
And I mean it
(x4)
Dear Son
Dear Brother
It’s been such a long time
I haven’t heard from you
I loved you till
All the flowers turned to stone
Time runs like antelopes
In my arms I hold love
In my arms I hold your mischief
In my arms I hold water
To water your garden
In sadness I stand in your garden
Till the sadness wears a smile
I’ve been looking for love
All my life and I mean it (X4)
BACK TO TOP TRIBAL WAR :
This tribal war is killing us all
Five hundred thousand voices
Fading away in the heat of war
Thousands of souls have passed away
Decaying in the heat of savannah land
This tribal war is killing us all
This tribal war is killing us all
Five hundred thousand voices
Lakes and rivers have stories to tell
Fading away in the heat of war
And fishes that feed on human flesh
Thousands of souls have passed away
Roads and boarders have seen them all
Decaying in the heat of savannah land
Weeping mothers and desperate men
Laha Ya Dunia (X4)
This tribal war is killing us all
Living in those camps with no hopes at all
Nothing to eat for days on end
Nothing to drink for days on end
This tribal war is killing us all
This tribal war is killing us all
Five hundred thousand voices
Waiting for trucks to bring some news
Fading away in the heat of war
Looking in the horizon with no hopes at all
Thousands of souls have passed away
Tears must stop and hopes grow higher
Laha Ya Dunia…..
Youth and I were friends
It’s been a long time
Since it left me
I am slowly ageing
In your arms
1964
Was the year when
We bought our house
We were young
1964
Was the year
You sang me love songs
With love from the North
Yoli oo yoli ooo
Yoli yoo ileyi
Yoli yoo ileyi
… (X2)
Sitting by my lady
I hope you know
She is my lady
…(X2)
When I think of you
Things to do
I do them the way
We use to do
In the year sixty four
When I think of
Songs to sing
I sing them the way
We use to sing
In the year sixty four
Yoli oo yoli ooo
Yoli yoo ileyi
Yoli yoo ileyi
…(X2)
Youth and you were friends

LA LETTRE :
Dear Mister Commander JOSEPH KONY
It is with urgency
And deepest concern
That I address this letter to you
And the entire fighting force of the lord’s resistence army
Also known as L.R.A where ever they may be
Regarding crimes committed by armed men
During the 20 years we know about
The world and I have seen trucks
Loads of human flesh
The world and I have seen trucks
Loads of children
Abducted by armed men to join the rebel forces
Those children were supposed to be in classroom
But someone up there took their lives
Dear Mister Commander,
I am not judging you
Nor am I accusing you
If needs be ,
I will go down on my knees
But I call upon you
To come to the negotiating table
Pray with us and sign for peace
Someone out there took their lives
Dear Mister Commander,
I am copying this letter to the President of the Republic of Uganda
And Commander in Chief
Of Ugandan people’s defense force
His Excellency Mister YOWERI MUSSEVENI
And the other copy goes to the entire world
Someone out there took their lives
I saw their faces
Pale with dust of summer
I heard their voices
Cried out danger
They needed love
And begged for mercy
Someone out there took their lives
I saw them run, run for cover
And beg for mercy
Someone out there took their lives
Dear Mister Commander,
I hope that someday
Your name will embrace peace
So that every child
Every woman, every man
In Atcholi district will travel
With Payira wind
'Till that wind will wear a smile
They needed love and beg for mercy
Someone out there took their lives
They run, run for cover
And beg for mercy
Someone out there took their lives
They needed love and beg for mercy
Someone out there took their lives
Dear Mister Commander,
I stand and pray
For God and our country
They run for cover
And beg for mercy
Someone out there took their lives
Dear Mister Commander
May God bless you
May God bless us
May God bless them
Someone took their lives
They needed love
And begged for mercy
Someone up there took their lives
BACK TO TOP ALL THE LIGHTS ARE DIM :
All the lights are deem
Tears are my dreams
I wish heaven
Could knock on my door
All the lights are deem
Don’t know what it means
My hopes are fading
Away
All the lights are deem
Souvenirs on the wall
I wish heaven
Could wash them away
All the lights are deem
Tears on the floor
I wish heaven
Could knock on my door
Living, with no lights
Living , living in the dirt
Living with no lights
Sweet Lord
My Lord
Bring me sunlight
