Youssou N'Dour
"Leaving (Dem)"


Leaving because of freedom
There's no more room for me
Can't look at these trees
That raised me
Every morning
Leaving because
This house seems too dark
Leaving because
I've got to be a man
I'm going to the jungle
I'm going to this big river
To join my friends

Don't go away
Don't go away

Show me your friends
And I'll show you who you are
Show me your relatives
And I'll tell you where to go
Eh! Do what you want
Eh! Eh! What you need
One only knows his own sorrow
The ones that can make things happen
Never get the chance
