Текст песни Charleston (Joy Oladokun) с переводом

What do you think heaven’s like?

I think it’s a garden

I think it’s your eyes

And I think it’s my beating heart

If you don’t mind me asking

Who do you think God is?

Do you think He was born to spite

Both the wicked and the righteous?

I think He’s good

Did you hear the church bells ring?

Night rang out in Charleston

As blood rained on the pulpit

Widows gave up their offerings

The poor and the prophet

Sang hymns of their sorrow

They’re tired of being forgotten

And I’m tired of watching

No, I won’t look on

The cities are burning down

All I’ve got is a song

So I will sing it out

Just to help the world

Where is our humanity?

Have we lost our capacity

To see that every breath we breathe

Is a thread in the tapestry

That winds into eternity?

Will we stand as a family

And our bodies so heavenly?

Sisters and brothers

So, I won’t look on

Cities are burning down

All I’ve got is a song

So I will sing it out

No, I won’t stand by

Cities are burning down

All I’ve got is this life

And so I’m gonna live it loud

Ooh ooh oh oh (no, I won’t stand by)

Oooh ohh ohh

Oooh ohh ohh (no, I won’t stand by)

Oooh ohh ohh

Oooh ohh ohh (no, I won’t stand by)

Oooh ohh ohh

Oooh ohh ohh (no, I won’t stand by)

Oooh ohh ohh
