[00:00:00] When Rivers Cry - Somi/Common (凡夫俗子)

[00:00:01] Written by：Toru Dodo/Lonnie Rashid Lynn/Cobhams Asuquo/Laura Audrey Kabasomi Kakoma

[00:01:19] Feet crushing plastic

[00:01:21] Moving windows tossing bottles dry

[00:01:25] I can't get past it

[00:01:26] Waste and dust still choking road and sky

[00:01:30] The trees remember days of plenty

[00:01:33] Before rivers cried

[00:01:37] Now they cry oh oh oh oh oh oh oh

[00:01:42] They cry oh oh oh oh oh oh oh

[00:01:47] They cry oh oh oh oh oh oh oh

[00:01:53] They cry oh oh oh oh oh oh oh

[00:02:20] Winds carry sorrow

[00:02:22] While forgetful dreamers pass us by

[00:02:25] Temperatures rising

[00:02:27] No one stopping just to wonder why

[00:02:31] Old men recall the kindness of the sun

[00:02:34] Before the rivers cried

[00:02:37] Now

[00:02:38] They cry oh oh oh oh oh oh oh

[00:02:43] They cry oh oh oh oh oh oh oh

[00:02:48] They cry oh oh oh oh oh oh oh

[00:02:53] They cry oh oh oh oh oh oh oh

[00:02:59] The rivers tell a story of

[00:03:01] God's reign and glory

[00:03:02] Pay homage to the land of those that came before me

[00:03:05] The land of the mother and the first man discovered

[00:03:07] Look overseas and see waters that are troubled

[00:03:10] The bridge somewhere in the truth and the kids

[00:03:12] Somewhere in the spirit of the kids the truth lives

[00:03:15] I died many times many lives just to live again

[00:03:18] Contemplating on where my life and river blends

[00:03:21] I was ignorant to the earth and what we did to it

[00:03:24] Never seek to find yeah I hid from it

[00:03:26] So when the rivers cried I never felt the sentiment

[00:03:29] Until the hurricanes that's when I caught wind of it

[00:03:31] My paps said the hurricanes was the ancestors

[00:03:34] Reminding us of who we are and our transgressions

[00:03:37] Lessons of the mother and the waves

[00:03:39] I'm the sun reflecting the earth these days

[00:03:42] Green belts tug at the necks and bellies

[00:03:45] Of our beasts and times

[00:03:47] Shortsighted leaders

[00:03:49] Flush with irony and oil mines

[00:03:52] Eroding shorelines lap at memory

[00:03:55] While the rivers cry

[00:03:59] Now

[00:03:59] They cry oh oh oh oh oh oh

[00:04:05] Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh

[00:04:10] Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh

[00:04:16] Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
