When the sky falls

And the earth quakes

We gonna put this back together

We won’t break

When the sky falls

And the earth quakes

We gonna put this back together

We won’t break

Sa Pa Sé

My Port-Au-Princes

My Haitian goddess

And all of my princesses

Our condolences as you’re fighting against this

We’re right by your side

As we’re trying 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 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 befalling them

So lets get involved with them

Hand to hand with them, arm to arm with them

Until they get strong again

When the sky falls

Not tomorrow

Can’t wait until tomorrow

Haitia, mi amor

Haiti, mon amour

Not gonna leave you stranded

Oh no, oh no, oh no

When the sky falls

And the earth quakes

We gonna put this back together

We won’t break

When the sky falls

And the earth quakes

We gonna put this back together

We won’t break

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 we gonna catch a break

My friend lost his mother and then

And then, Caroline lost her uncles and them

Buried with no caskets

They just put covers on them

And the tears fall, and we fight back

The story ain’t done, it can’t end like that

Nah not like this

Tomorrow’s survivors are 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

Not tomorrow

Can’t wait until tomorrow

Haitia, mi amor

Haiti, mon amour

Not gonna leave you stranded

Hey, not gonna leave you stranded

Oh no, oh no, oh no

It’s not the angels that are on their way

It’s not the bells of Santa Trinité

The people waiting, position vacant

for hands to help, not just to pray

Ensemble, ensemble, ensemble

Ensemble, ensemble, ensemble

Haitia, mi amor

Haiti, mon amour

Not gonna leave you stranded

Hey, not gonna leave you stranded

Oh no, oh no, oh no

Not gonna leave

Haïti va s’élever

Not gonna leave

Tu vas te relever

Oh no

Nous nous éléverons

Oh no

Ensemble ensemble ensemble

We’re gonna put this back together, we wont break

Not gonna leave stranded

We’re gonna put this back together, we wont break

Not gonna leave you stranded

We’re gonna put this back together, we wont break

Not gonna leave you stranded

We’re gonna put this back together, we wont break

We’re gonna put this back together, we wont break
