All the money that you make
All of the finer things you own
All of the food that's on your plate
Ain't gon' mean nothing when you gone
You been in darkness for so long
You don't believe that there's no light
You've got a devil on your back
You won't defeat it if you won't fight
I know that we would heal if we
Only would kneel and pray
Please Lord don't tear us apart
Just show me the way
I won't sleep a day
Until my people make a new start
I don't need the motherland
There's no going back from here
I just need my brother's hand
No there's no going back
We don't need no motherland
There's no going back from here
We just need each other's hand
We just need each other's hand
Father mercy mercy me
Destruction is all my eyes can see
It's gotta be more than life can be
There's gotta be more to life than this
Heaven around this windy bend
Seems like the pain will never end
'Specially when losing all my friends
Lord You are the Savior we need
You're all that we live for
You are the only hope that we ever gon' see out here
You are the only reason to smile out here
You are the only love that we're every gon' see out here
I don't need the motherland
There's no going back from here
I just need my brother's hand
No there's no going back
We don't need no motherland
There's no going back from here
We just need each other's hand
We just need each other's hand
All that I'll ever need is my brother's hand
Africa can't teach me how to love
I said
Only You can
And America will never be enough
No
Only You can
Only You can
Only You can
Only You can
Only You can
I don't need the motherland
There's no going back from here
I just need my brother's hand
No there's no going back
We don't need no motherland
There's no going back from here
We just need each other's hand
We just need each other's hand
I need you more than I need anything in this world
Oh yeah
