Wally Badarou - Seas of a Zillion Tears Lyrics

Laid down, shaken, still alive
His brothers left behind
Trapped in chains and praying through the night
Asking the reasons why

Enslaved to build - a brand new world
His arms only worth the price
Before he could even realise
They sent him riding [the] seas of

A zillion tears
Was this the price to be paid ? A zillion tears
To fill a bleeding heart

His people learned, back on motherland
To never give up the fight: you'll earn
Self determination, freedom flags
Icons of nation pride

Greed, war and bribery
Corruption all around
Rich nations to end up in misery
They got them lost in seas of

A zillion tears
Wished we didn't have to pay a zillion tears
To heal a bleeding heart

Out of despair, he made is mind
Leaving his life behind
Dunes, winds and waves, pay the pass
Reach the shore or feed the shark

They said, right accross the sea
Promised a better life
Hunted down, turned down, thrown over board
Yet they keep on sailing the seas of

A zillion tears
Today like yesterday a zillion tears
To heal the vivid scars

A zillion tears
Shed on my pain a zillion tears
To fill my bleeding heart

A zillion tears
Never too shy to say a zillion tears
To reach a zillion stars
