When the sky falls and the Earth quakes
We gon' put this back together, we won't break
When the sky falls and the Earth quakes
We gon' put this back together, we won't break

Sak pase, my Port-Au-Princes
My Haitian Gods and all of my princesses
Our condolences as you fightin' against this
We're right by your side while we tryin' to make sense of this
Heavenly Father help us see through these problems
And for those that left accept them into your garden
See here's my theory, the country's already starvin'
So we sacrifice many to shed light on all of them
Y'all please pardon, I speak from my heart
It's the only way I see this tragedy befall on them
So let's get involved with them, hand to hand with them
Arm to arm with them 'til they get strong again
When the sky falls

Not tomorrow
Can't wait until tomorrow

Hey
Haiti a mi amour
Haiti mon amour
Not gonna leave you stranded
Oh no
Oh no, oh no

When the sky falls and the Earth quakes
We gon' put this back together, we won't break
When the sky falls and the Earth quakes
We gon' put this back together, we won't break

Learn from the past, New Orleans was flooded
So we know we just can't rely on the government
We under the rubble again, here we go rumbling when
When we gon' catch a break? My friend lost his mother and then (and then)
Carline lost her uncles and them
Buried with no caskets, they just put covers on them
And the tears fall but we fight back
Story ain't done, it can't end like that
Nah not like this, tomorrow's survivors gonna carry on your name
You live on inside us, your memory's alive with us
You inspired us, to rebuild this country, you just guide us

Not tomorrow
Can't wait until tomorrow

Hey
Haiti a mi amour
Haiti mon amour
Not gonna leave you stranded
Hey, yeah yeah yeah
Not gonna leave you stranded
Oh no, oh no

It's not the angels that are on their way
It's not the bells of Sante Trinity
The people waiting, position vacant
For hands to help, not just to pray

Hey
Haiti a mi amour
Haiti mon amour
Not gonna leave you stranded
Hey, yeah yeah yeah
Not gonna leave you stranded
(Not gonna leave, no) Oh no
(Not gonna leave, no) Oh no
(Oh no, not gonna leave)

Haïti va s'élever 
Tu vas te relever (not gonna leave)
Nous nous éléverons (oh no)
Ensemble, ensemble, ensemble

Not gonna leave you stranded (we gon' put this back together we won't break)
(we gon' put this back together we won't break)
Not gonna leave you stranded (we gon' put this back together we won't break)
(we gon' put this back together we won't break)
Not gonna leave you stranded (we gon' put this back together we won't break)
We gon' put this back together we won't break

We gon' put this back together we won't break
