Lyrics
Have You Ever Been To Port-au-Prince? Copyright Stan Loh, January 28, 2010. This song was written for the orphans of Haiti after a terrible earthquake on January 12, 2010. VERSE 1 Have you ever been to Port-au-Prince? Where the earth stomped out a deadly dance, Everything crumbled, your palace gone, I heard the moaning, till the early dawn, Have you ever been to Port-au-Prince? Chorus "Mama, Mama where can you be? Where is my Papa, where can he be? Mama, Mama why can’t I see? Why can’t you call back to me… call back to me?” VERSE 2 You had twelve months to clear the streets, Where did the money go, why plastic sheets? Have they gone to pockets deep unknown? What are your reasons, what have you shown? Have you ever lived in self-defeat? Repeat Chorus VERSE 3 These shelters of plastic will be my vote, I cry for better, but the dark death showed, And the streets ain’t streets, all rubbled stone, Lost children crying on their own, Have you ever tasted bloated goats…bloated goats, Repeat Chorus Outro “Oh Mama, Mama please care for me, I need your love, oh can't you see? Every morning I beg for food, The scraps I get just ain’t no good ...ain’t no good, Ain’t no good ...ain’t no good.”
