Peter Gabriel, Youssou N’Dour, Shaggy - Shaking the Tree 97 (Jungle Version) lyrics

Level level level, level off, level off
Level off, yeah
I gotta shake the tree, gotta shake the tree
Let 'em know,  let 'em know
Let 'em know,  ha ha, yeah
Give it up right, give it up right shaggy
Get, get it right, right
What I say, what I say, what I say

Waiting your time, dreaming of a better life
Waiting your time
You're more than just a wife
Don't have to do what your mother has done
She has done this is your life
This new life has begun it's your day
Woman's day it's your day
Woman's day

Turning the tide
You are on the incoming wave
Turning the tide know you are nobody's slave
Find your sisters and brothers
Who can hear all the truth in what you say
They can support you when you're on your way

It's your day woman's day
It's your day woman's day

Souma Yergon, Sou Nou Yergon
We are shakin' the tree
Souma Yergon, Sou Nou Yergon
We are shakin' the tree

Changing faces in the strangest places
Tastin' the fruit's of our roots
A ha ha ha ha ha ha is this just a deja vu
Or tell me is this really true
Hit me like a puzzle, I ain't got a clue
Is this really my imagination
That I'm confronted with these altercations
Yeah
Gotta shake the tree, gotta shake the tree
Gotta shake the tree, gotta shake the tree
Well, leave it up to me

Souma Yergon, Sou Nou Yergon
We are shakin' the tree
Souma Yergon, Sou Nou Yergon
We are shakin' the tree
Souma Yergon, Sou Nou Yergon
We are shakin' the tree
Souma Yergon, Sou Nou Yergon
We are shakin' the tree

There's nothing to gain
When there's nothing to be lost
There's nothing to gain if you stay
Behind and count the cost
Make a decision, you can be who you can be
You can be tasting the fruit
Come to the Liberty Tree it's your day
It's your day

Changing your ways
Changing those surrounding you
Changing your ways, more than any man can do
Find your brothers and sisters
Who can hear all the truth in what you say
They can support you when you're on your way

It's your day your day
It's your day

We're gonna break it down
We have to shake it down shake it all around

Souma Yergon, Sou Nou Yergon
We are shakin' the tree
Souma Yergon, Sou Nou Yergon
We are shakin' the tree
Souma Yergon, Sou Nou Yergon
We are shakin' the tree
Souma Yergon, Sou Nou Yergon
We are shakin' the tree
Souma Yergon, Sou Nou Yergon
We are shakin' the tree
Souma Yergon, Sou Nou Yergon
We are shakin' the tree
