 Boul ma sene, boul ma guiss madi re nga fokni mane
 Khamouma li neka thi sama souf ak thi guinaw
 Beugouma kouma khol oaldine yaw li neka si yaw
 Mo ne si man, li ne si mane moye dilene diapale
 Roughneck and rudeness
 We should be using, on the ones who practice wicked charms
 For the sword and the stone
 Bad to the bone
 Battle is not over
 Even when it's won
 And  when a child is born into  this world
 It has no  concept
 Of  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
 It's  not a second
 7 Seconds away
 Just as long as I  stay
 I'll be waiting  x2

 I’ll be waiting

 J'assume les raisons qui nous poussent de changer tout,
 J'aimerais qu'on oublie leur couleur pour qu'ils espèrent
 Beaucoup de sentiments de race qui font qu'ils désespèrent
 Je veux les portes grandement ouvertes,
 Des amis pour parler de leur peine, de leur joie
 Pour qu'ils leur filent des infos qui ne divisent pas

 7 Seconds  away

 (instrumental)
And  when a child is born into  this world
 It has no  concept
 Of the tone  the skin is living in
 And  there's a million voices
 And  there's a million voices
 To  tell you what she should be thinking
 So you better sober up for just a  second
 7 Seconds away
 Just as long as I  stay
 I'll be waiting
 It's  not a second
 7 Seconds away
 Just as long as I  stay
 I'll be waiting  (fade out)
 I believe everything is accurate. For any comments, pleaste dont hesitate to contact me. Michael :-)
