Seven Seconds

Seven Seconds
Dido & Youssou N'Dour
Don't see me from a distance
Don't look at my smile
And think that I don't know
What's under and beheind me
I don't want you to look at me and think
What's in you is me
What's in me is to help them

Nothing can move us, we should be moving
From the ones who practice wicked charms
For the son and the stone
Bad to the bone
Man is not evil, even when it's born
And when a child is born into this world
It has no concept
The tone the skin is living in
Chorus 2x
It's not a second
7 seconds away
Just as long as I stay
I'll be waiting
I assume the reasons that push us to change everything
I would like us to forget about their color
So they can be optimistic
Too many views on rave that make them desperate
Let's leave the doors wide open
So they can talk about theit pain and joy
Then we can give them information
That will bring us all together
7 seconds away
Just as long as I stay
I'll be waiting
Chorus
It's not a second
7 seconds away
Just as long as I stay
I'll be waiting
And when a child is born into this world
It has no concept
The tone the skin is living in
There's a million voices
There's a million voices
To tell you what she should be thionking
So you better sober up for a second

Chorus 8x
It's not a second
7 seconds away
Just as long as I stay
I'll be waiting
