Dear Leopold 歌词

You could have been the one Who drove tyrants away You could have seen a people Delivered from their chains Dear Leopold You could have stood for justice And been the people's king You could have stood for freedom You could have stood for anything Dear Leopold But greed and deceit were your drive They took over your life In spite of the millions who died Like the oceans go on and on You gave us a hope that seemed endless But it was a lie You wasted your life Building empty castles for yourself And in the end you threw it all away When you stand before your Maker What will you say Giving account of all of your days Dear Leopold Will you stand there in silence Shaking at the knees Reminded of your failures And your atrocities Dear Leopold, Dear Leopold God only gives us one chance to live out The dreams and hopes that He has Where are you storing the treasures you build up On earth or in His hands Mawa eh (great sorrow) Kuwa bo ke dila (listen to them crying)
