about
Haiti shall remain in our minds and in our hearts.
"God loves you Haiti and I love you Haiti"
lyrics
So many trials you faced
So much bloodshed and pain
Praying your tears will wash it all away
But still the heartache remains
You feel all hope is gone
There’s nothing left to hold on to
How do you get up and try to live in this mess?
My brother, my sister I came by to tell you
That you are not abandoned
You are not abandoned
God loves you Haiti
I love you Haiti
So far yet so close
Felt the earth beneath me tremble
You’re miles away but truth is we’re one
Together we’ll make it through
You feel all hope is gone
There’s no one else to look up to
How to you stand up and try to live a new life?
My brother, my sister, listen to me!
You are not abandoned
You are not abandoned
God loves you Haiti
I love you Haiti
No, not abandoned (x4)
You know, tremors
They cannot destroy our spirits
Nous sommes tous Haitiens
Dieu t’aime Haiti
Je t’aime Haiti
No, not abandoned
You are not abandoned
