Choose Love Songtext
von Angélique Kidjo

Hey, we′ve been here before, all the world's up in flames
That don′t fix anything, must be some other way
So much blood on the floor, now we can't hide the stain
That won't fix anything, must be some other way

Brothers, why are we fighting each other?
My sisters, why we let the men take our power?
That′s what they want (that′s what they want)
That's what they want (that′s what they want)
That's what they want (that′s what they want)
That's what they want (that′s what they want)

Our leaders conquer and they divide us
Our preachers teach the world of our colonizers
That's what they want (that's what they want)
That′s what they want (that′s what they want)
That's what they want (that′s what they want)
That's what they want (that′s what they want)


Let's be stronger than our fathers
Free ourselves and please our mothers
Can′t you see we can't be governed?
If we choose love, if we choose love

Hey, we've been here before, all the world′s up in flames
That don′t fix anything, must be some other way
So much blood on the floor, now we can't hide the stain
That won′t fix anything, must be some other way

Had a beautiful dream that I woke up and all the bombs in the world had been imploded
An unusual twist to our fate because none of them had any order in the morning
It was almost the end of the world as we know it, the moment had never been closer
When we crawl out of hiding and crying, we decided it is time to start loving each other

Let's be stronger than our fathers
Free ourselves and please our mothers
Can′t you see we can't be governed?
If we choose love, if we choose love
If we choose love, if we choose love? (Love)
We (choose love, choose love...)
