Stranded (Haiti Mon Amour) [Version 1.0]

[Intro]

[?]

[Chorus: JAY-Z]

When the sky falls and the earth quakes

We gon' put this back together

We won't break

When the sky falls and the earth quakes

We gon' put this back together

We won't break

[Verse 1: JAY-Z]

Sak Pase, my Port-Au-Princes

My Haitian gods and all of my princesses

Our condolences as you fighting against this

We're right by your side while we trying to make sense of this

Heavenly father help us see through these problems

And for those that's left, accept them into your garden

So here's my theory, the country's already starving

So we sacrificed many to shed light on all of them

God please pardon, I speak from the heart

It's the only way I see this tragedy befall on them

So let's get involved with them, hand to hand with them

Arm to arm with them 'til they get strong again

When the sky falls

[Chorus: The Edge & Rihanna, Bono]

Can't wait until tomorrow

Can't wait until tomorrow

Haiti a mi amor

Haiti, mon amour

Not gonna leave you stranded, alone, alone

Oh no

[Chorus: JAY-Z]

When the sky falls and the earth quakes

We gon' put this back together

We won't break

When the sky falls and the earth quakes

We gon' put this back together

We won't break

[Verse 2: JAY-Z]

Learn from the past, New Orleans was flooded

So we know we just can't rely on the government

We under the rubble again, here we go rumbling when

When we gon' catch a break, my friend lost his mother, and then

And then, Carline lost her uncles and them

Buried with no caskets, they just put covers on them

And the tears fall, and we fight back

Story ain't done, it can't end like that

Nah, not like this, tomorrow's survivors gonna carry on your name

You live on inside us, your memory's alive with us

You inspired us, to rebuild this country, you just guide us

[Chorus: The Edge, Rihanna & Bono, Bono]

Can't wait until tomorrow

Can't wait until tomorrow

Haiti a mi amor

Haiti, mon amour

Not gonna leave you stranded

Not gonna leave you stranded

Oh no, oh no

[Bridge: Bono]

It's not the angels that are on their way

It's not the bells of Santa Trinita

The people waiting in positions vacant

For hands to help, not just to pray

[Chorus: The Edge, Rihanna & Bono, Bono]

Haiti a mi amor

Haiti, mon amour

Not gonna leave you stranded

Not gonna leave you stranded

Oh no, oh no

[Outro: Rihanna, Bono, JAY Z]

Oh no

Oh no

Haïti va s'élever

Tu vas te relever (Oh no)

Nous nous élèverons

Ensemble, ensemble, ensemble

Not gonna leave you stranded

Not gonna leave you stranded

We gon' put this back together, we won't break

We gon' put this back together, we won't break

We gon' put this back together, we won't break

We gon' put this back together, we won't break

We gon' put this back together, we won't break
