WE WANNA LIVE
By Carl & Carol Jacobs

Woh oh oh oh oh, Woh oh oh oh oh
Woh oh oh oh oh, Woh oh oh oh oh

Times are getting harder
Life forget its pleasure
Hands are getting colder
We're heading for disaster

But I know better days are coming
For sure we going up fighting
Hold on people, humanity calling
Let me see you stand up
Raise your head and start singing:
"We wanna live, we just wanna live!
We wanna live, all we wanna do is live!" 

Woh oh oh oh oh, Woh oh oh oh oh
Woh oh oh oh oh, Woh oh oh oh oh.

The rich is getting richer
Poor man getting poorer
Nations seeking power
And the end result is more war. [No war, no war, no war!]

I say we better start moving
We better get up an get
There's no time for idling
Hold on people, humanity calling
Let me see you stand up
Raise your head and start shouting:
"We wanna live, we just wanna live!
We wanna live, all we wanna do is live!" 

Woh oh oh oh oh, Woh oh oh oh oh
We wanna live! Woh oh oh oh oh,
We wanna live! Woh oh oh oh oh,

We go fight until the end
We go fight from now 'til then
We go fight for the children [Amen, amen]
Make the future theirs to win

'Cause I know better days are coming
For sure we going up fighting
Hold on people, humanity calling
Let me see you stand up
Raise your head and start shouting:
"We wanna live, all we wanna do is live!
We wanna live, all we wanna do is live!
We wanna live, all we wanna do is live!
We wanna live, all we wanna do is live!"

Woh oh oh oh oh, Woh oh oh oh oh
Woh oh oh oh oh, Woh oh oh oh oh.

My people, raise your head to the sky
Raise your head up high
Raise your head to the sky
Raise your head up high
High up, high up...

You got to hold on
You got to hold on...

Hold on, hold on people...

A Note From The Gull

Thank you, Carl and Carol Jacobs.  

"Patria est communis omnium parens" - Our native land is the common parent of us all. Keep it beautiful, make it even more so.

Blessed is all of creation
Blessed be my beautiful people
Blessed be the day of our awakening
Blessed is my country
Blessed are her patient hills.

Mweh ka allay!
