Manifest Destiny (Remastered) - Jamiroquai (杰瑞·李·刘易斯) As I remember It was four hundred years or more
Since you came to crucify
And they were taken far away from home There were promises of paradise
But if they had been told that day That they would be sold that this way
To satisfy the souls of chosen men See I had to look carefully At the shame of my ancestry To redefine the storyline again Hey 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 Sadness was the best thing I could bring
On the inside he was dead and this is what he said As he took away the blue above the clouds
Superiority was clearly meant to be So destiny will manifest in time
So where has the love all gone A troubled trail of tears will tell the tale
Of how I was put down where I don't belong Woman child and man for sale
For 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 tread
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 Sadness was the best thing I could bring
On the inside he was dead and this is what he said
As he took away the blue above the clouds
Superiority was clearly meant to be So destiny will manifest itself in time
