Ei! Chale, wonim?
They have the power, but where is the love?
Yoo... listen.
They build the rockets, they paint the sky in red
While the children hunger, crying for daily bread
Instead of building bridges across the deep blue sea
They're making weapons, destroying you and me
Oh, Asase Yaa is weeping today!
Chale, why you use your power to break? (wonim?!)
Instead of building up the world we make!
Asomdwee, peace is what we need today
Stop the fire, let the children play
Ei! Chop life, don't chop the world away!
In Washington, in Moscow, Beijing and beyond
They sign the papers, but the peace is gone
They talk of progress but they bring the pain
We need the sunshine, not the acid rain
Yoo! Let's build the broken walls again!
Chale, why you use your power to break? (wonim?!)
Instead of building up the world we make!
Asomdwee, peace is what we need today
Stop the fire, let the children play
Ei! Chop life, don't chop the world away!
Oyiwa! Let us build, chale.
Asomdwee... peace.
Yoo.
