7 Seconds Lyrics - Singles - Youssou Ndour - Neneh Cherry

Don't see me from a distance 

Don't look at my smile 

And think that I don't know 

What's under and behind me 

I don't want you to look at me 

And think 

What's in you is in me 

What's in me is to help them 

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 their pain 

And joy 

Then we can give them information 

That will bring us all together 

It's not a second 

7 Seconds away 

Just as long as I stay 

I'll be waiting 

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 

It's not a second 

7 Seconds away 

Just as long as I stay 

I'll be waiting 

There's a million voices 

There's a million voices 

To tell you what she should be thinking 

So you better sober up for just a second
