When feat. Kim Burrell,Lalah Hathaway

歌詞

Raindrops make suns the earthquakes and moans they Both sing how long till the wedding day Stars robed in white Decorate the sky While the fragile bride cries, "take me away" Who can explain These storms and these waves that Echo birth planes please hear what they say Mountains and trees every living thing Shall tarry back please and do not delay [Chorus:] When will you come for your daughters and sons We are homesick we try, but we don't belong Even if that day's a million light years away Each day will begin with the same question When, when, when, when? Creation speaks the winds through the leaves It begs to be free no curses remain Them in disease your people are weak Help us to believe it could be any day Great are the scars (great are the scars) After each one (after each one) Look close you'll see defeat on our face Can't hear a sound Your silence is loud Come close to us now, you feel far away [Chorus] When, when A billion hearts tonight are asking When, when You heard it before We won't stop asking But who am I Even to try to understand ways much greater than mine [Chorus] When, when, when, when When, when, when, when
