[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
[jay-z:] Sa pa sé, my port-au-princes My haitian gods and all of my princesses Our condolences as you fightin' against this We're right by your side As we tryin' to make sense of this Heavenly father help us see through these problems And for those that left Accept them into your garden So here's my theory The country's already starvin' So we sacrificed many To shed light on all of them God please pardon, I speak from the heart Its the only way I see this tragedy befall on them So lets get involved with them Hand to hand with them arm to arm with them Til they get strong again, when the sky falls
[rihanna and bono:] Can't wait until tomorrow Haiti, mon amour Haiti, mon amour Not gonna leave you stranded, alone, alone Oh no
Can't wait until tomorrow Haiti, mon amour Haiti, mon amour Not gonna leave you stranded, alone, alone Oh no
[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
[rihanna and bono:] Can't wait until tomorrow Haiti, mon amour Haiti, mon amour Not gonna leave you stranded, alone, alone Oh no
[bono:] It's not the angels that are on their way Its not the bells of santa trinite The people waiting, position vacant For hands to help, not just to pray
[rihanna and bono:] Can't wait until tomorrow Haiti, mon amour Haiti, mon amour Not gonna leave you stranded, alone, alone Oh no
[french singing] Haïti va s'élever Tu vas te relever Nous nous éléverons Ensemble ensemble ensemble
(not gonna leave you stranded...)
[jay-z:] We gon put this back together we wont break We gon put this back together we wont break We gon put this back together we wont break We gon put this back together we wont break
