You can blow out a candle
but you can't blow out a fire

Once the flames begin to catch
the wind will blow it higher

Old pirates, yes, they rob I
Sold I to the merchant ships

Minutes after they took I
from the bottomless pit

But my hand was made strong
by the hand of the Almighty

We forward in this generation
Triumphantly

Won't you help to sing these songs of freedom?

It's all I ever had: redemption songs

Come as you are, as you were
as I want you to be
as a friend, as a friend
as an old enemy

Take your time, hurry up

Choice is yours, don't be late

Take a rest as a friend
as an old memoria

Lingala Verse
This is the answer for the people
Who lost their loved ones from war.
This is the answer for the people
Who lost their loved ones from hunger.

Spanish Verse
The moment is what counts
Live smiling until the end
But happy days will come
That nobody can believe

Hebrew Verse
It´s time to say,
We are all one heart
This song is of all of us
So let´s sing it together in one big voice.

Sometimes in our lives, we all have pain
We all have sorrow

But if we are wise
we know that there's always tomorrow

Lean on me
when you're not strong
and I'll be your friend

I'll help you carry on
for it won't be long
till I'm gonna need somebody to lean on

Everyone around the world, come on

And when my mind is free
You know a melody can move me
And when I'm feelin' blue
The guitar's comin' through to soothe me

Thanks for the joy that you've given me
I want you to know I believe in your song
And rhythm and rhyme and harmony
You've helped me along
Makin' me strong
