Liberian Cry
D
D Cecelia Akoi Wonlah
male vocals
crowd-style shouts
Afro-fusion gospel-leaning pop with mid-tempo swung drums and driving hand percussion; intro starts sparse with voice and congas
verse stays intimate with bass
kalimba plucks
and call-and-response ad-libs
pre-chorus lifts with rising choir pads and snare rolls
chorus opens wide with stacked male vocals and a chantable hook
bridge strips back to handclaps and testimony lines before a final chorus with fuller harmonies
and short delay throws on the key phrase. Bright
urgent
and emotional with a clean punchy mix and warm low end; male vocals

歌詞
[Intro]
Yeah yeah…
ELIDO on the melody…
From the streets of Liberia
We singing for the people dem…
TESTIFY, tell them something!
[Verse 1]
Road full of dust
But the dreams still walk
Market gets quiet
When the bad news talk
Mama in line
With a small dry bag
Rice too costly
And the children ask
[Pre-Chorus]
Who gonna hear us now?
Who gonna lift this load?
We don tire for talk
We want action on the road
[Chorus]
Liberian government, hear the cry of the people
Everyday suffering, life no easy for the people
Mama crying, children hungry every season
Too much promise, but we still searching for a reason
Ohhh ohhh
Liberian government, hear the cry of the people
Everyday suffering, life no easy for the people
[Verse 2]
Young man waiting
By a locked-up gate
Good books finished
But the job come late
Sister keep praying
With her hands held high
Say one true change
Can make this nation rise
[Pre-Chorus]
Who gonna hear us now?
Who gonna lift this load?
We don tire for talk
We want action on the road
[Chorus]
Liberian government, hear the cry of the people
Everyday suffering, life no easy for the people
Mama crying, children hungry every season
Too much promise, but we still searching for a reason
Ohhh ohhh
Liberian government, hear the cry of the people
Everyday suffering, life no easy for the people
[Bridge]
If you hear this song
Then hear the pain
From Monrovia down
To the seaside rain
We no need more talk
We need open hands
Need truth in the houses
Need hope in the land
[Final Chorus]
Liberian government, hear the cry of the people
Everyday suffering, life no easy for the people
Mama crying, children hungry every season
Too much promise, but we still searching for a reason
Ohhh ohhh
Liberian government, hear the cry of the people
Everyday suffering, life no easy for the people
Liberian government, hear the cry of the people
Ohhh ohhh, hear the cry of the people
Yeah yeah…
ELIDO on the melody…
From the streets of Liberia
We singing for the people dem…
