7 Seconds [English translation]

Don't notice me, don't see me while I'm laughing and think that, I

I don't know what's under me and what's behind.

I don't want you to look at me and think, "what's in you,

is in me", what's in me is to help them...

Roughneck and rudeness,

We should be using, on the ones who practice wicked charms

For the sword and the stone

Bad to the bone

Battle is not over

Even when it's won

And when a child is born into this world

It has no concept

Of the tone the skin is living in

(CHORUS)

It's not a second, seven seconds away

Just as long as I stay, I'll be waiting

It's not a second, seven seconds away

Just as long as stay, I'll be waiting

I'll be waiting,

I'll be waiting

I assume the reasons that push us to change

I would like that they forget about their color,

so that they can have hope

Too many views on race that make them desperate

I like the doors wide open

So that friends can talk about their pain and their joy

Then we can give them information, that will bring us all together

(CHORUS)

It's not a second, seven seconds away

Just as long as I stay, I'll be waiting

It's not a second, seven seconds away

Just as long as I stay, I'll be waiting

I'll be waiting,

I'll be waiting

And when a child is born into this world

It has no concept

Of the tone of the skin he's living in

And there's a million voices

And there's a million voices

To tell you what she should be thinking

So you better sober up for just a second

Seven seconds away

Just as long as I stay, I'll be waiting

It's not a second, seven seconds away

Just as long as I stay, I'll be waiting

It's not a second, seven seconds away

Just as long as I stay, I'll be waiting

It's not a second, seven seconds away

Just as long as stay, I'll be waiting

It's not a second, seven seconds away

Just as long as I stay, I'll be waiting
