The more I listen to this sad song about my homeland sudan and its dearest victimized region of darfur the more I cry painfully with a lot of tears ...now we are going to defeat injustice and Darfur is going to get out of darkness..thanks all those who support our cause against dictator and injustice.
It represents exactly the same thing to me. I discovered this song with her, all life long I will think about all the adventures, all good instants we create together. RIP Sarah, thank you, I'll never forget you... ❤️🤘
Me my great grandmother was a refugee from darfur this made me cry but smile because we've always been strong even thou it's been over hundred years instability since our monarch fell

Wow what a song!! Stumbled across this when I heard his 'big city life song' takes me back to when I was younger that song. All his songs are amazing 😍
+Mike Domey I'm watching it even in 2016. Why not? It was a song I liked very much when I was a teenager. By the way, music is timeless. Imagine a lot of people even still listen to Mozart.
This was my ringtone for about 2 years back in time, I will never forget, now I am grateful for every breath in my life, and just searched for this amazing music. Thank you very much.🙏🙏🙏
Ive been listening to this song on the radio since when i was a kid and after all this years im finally able to find it! Im the happiest guy on earth right now despite the corona virus pandemic
I have sent this song to my ex girlfriend back at 2008 and she just died novemb 2018. We were friends after we broke up. This brings memmories. Nicest possible
ohmyword found this track on my deceased's sons macbook and i am absolutely goosebumps from listening to it how many years later ;-)))))) #GODBLESSAFRICAANDTHERESTOFTHEWORLD
Wonderful song, I like it more and more...You should dance with closed eyes, darkness all around, just carried away by Mattafix voice, like a caress, and his melancholic, sweet but somehow powerful music...
Beautiful song with a sad corner of the world, but amazing how the folks still enjoy themselves with whatever small they have. Heard it on italian tv - and a friend found the details...
Whenever I feel like complaining I watch this video...sobers me up real quick. We do get self absorbed don't we? Not to belittle your struggle but it could be way worse. Happy 2022 everyone! ❣
"Per quale motivo, mi chiedo, esseri provenienti da un altro pianeta dovrebbero cercarci, dal momento che stiamo distruggendo quanto abbiamo abbiamo creato?" Frank Zappa
I remember waking up everyday to this song when i was a kid my eldest brother used to play it all day long i miss those days this song is truly a masterpiece
This is awesome!!! I am currently trying to organize an event for Save Darfur all the way down here in New Zealand! I will definitely be playing this song at the event. Very moving...
He is not the only artist. Well done to him for caring and well done to him for sharing but you seriously need to look up Rage Against the Machine, Immortal Technique, Dead Prez, Public Enemy, Gil Scot Heron, Joni Mitchell, even soul singers like Marvin Gaye, and Nina Simone spoke about social comentary. umm Kev the Poet...
Une de mes chansons préférées. Tous l'argent récolter par ce groupe avec cette chanson à été destiner aux enfants du Darfour, qui sont bruler, massacrer.. Ces touchant de savoir qu'il y a encore du cœur sur cette planète !
Powerful. Darfur, Sudan shall rise. Ordinary people suffer due to ego, greed, conspicuous consumerism, materialism, corruption,wars, conflicts, etc. A continent with such immense resources. Africa needs leadership
Even in 2024, I keep returning to this beautiful song ❤
💜
Especially today, it hasn't changed and probably got worse today in Sudan.

See the nation through the people's eyes
See tears that flow like rivers from the skies
Where it seems there are only border-lines
Where others turn and sigh
You shall rise
You shall rise
There's disaster in your past
Boundaries in your path
What you desire will lift you higher
You don't have to be extraordinary just forgiving
Of those who never heard your cries
You shall rise
You shall rise
And look towards the skies
Where others fail you'll prevail in time
You shall rise
You may never know if you lay low, lay low
You may never know if you lay low, lay low
You may never know if you lay low, lay low
You may never know if you lay low, lay low
You shall rise
You shall rise
You shall rise
Sooner or later we must try living
You may never know if you lay low, lay low
You may never know if you lay low, lay low
You may never know if you lay low, lay low
You may never know if you lay low, lay low
See the nation through the people's eyes
See tears that flow like rivers from the skies
And where it seems there are only border-lines
Where others turn and sigh
You shall rise
You shall rise
You shall rise
You shall rise
You may never know if you lay low, lay low
You may never know if you lay low, lay low
You may never know if you lay low, lay low
You may never know if you lay low, lay low

@@atticthehattrick Yeah tell him xD but it is true, though i wish Marlon would put out just one more song, almost none that i don´t like.
The South african influence blends soo well with his voice..... as it does on the brilliant "Shake Your Limbs" (featuring Zola)
Heard this while playing billiards at my favourite café.. Googled for hours cause I didn't catch much of the lyrics.

This muisc video was shown on local TV in Brazil in 2007, but I forgot its name. For 17 years I was looking for it. Amazing song.
Gli occhi dei giovani che ho visto in questo erano pieni di una gioia che non riscontro negli occhi dei giovani italiani.
forse dovemo farcele du domande allora
Come posso avere gli occhi pieni di gioia quando la mia specie sta distruggendo questo mondo e di conseguenza anche se stessa che ne fa parte?!

humanity you say!
it's an optional they don't have
humanity for the poor people it's a fragile notion

how they have any better humanity than others? I think it is worse, most of them are super religious and homophobic
