Hiro

[Intro]
I would have liked to travel through time
I would have liked to travel through time
 
[Verse 1]
If I had Hiro Nakamura’s power
I would go back to the birth of my children Lenny and Inaya
I would have gone to Sanaa
And boycott the take off A310 plane of Yemenia
I would have gone and see my grandfather for a last time to tell him that I take care of his daughter, may he rest in peace
I would have gone and meet Martin Luther King
And after his speech, I would have shown him the picture of Barack Obama
I would have gone in Harlem Temple
And push out Malcolm from the stage before than the bullet hits him
I would have gone to Mandela's jail and told him to be strong, your ideas will become President of South-Africa
For those who love Lady Diana
I would have made a terrific traffic jam under the Alma Bridge
I would have gone to Bahamas
Not for holidays but to empty the hold of the plane where was Aaliyah
 
[Indila]
We can't change the past
But the future is ours
Be the change that you want to see in the world
 
[Bridge]
I would have liked to travel through time
I would have liked to travel through time
I would have liked to travel through time
 
[Verse 2]
If I had Hiro Nakamura’s power
I would have been to Kinshasa to see Muhammad Ali fighting
Then celebrate the Comoros's first independence day
And hold tight my grandfather in my arms
then go straight to Paris-Dakar in the savanna
to stop the helicopter of Daniel Balavoine
I love truth of people that have a red nose
I would have punctured the tires of Coluche's motorbike
I would have gone to Medine to welcome Muhammad
Then go to see Moses crossing the red sea
I would have been there, on the birth day of the son of Mary
Two hours later joining Gandhi's salt march
I would have went take a seat nearby Rosa Parks
And to Woodstock to see Jimmy Hendrix's live
I would have gone to Motown's birthday
To see Mickael perform moonwalk
I would have gone to New York
To sound the alarm at 7 am in the twin towers
I would have gone to Irak
To teach to journalists how to target with their shoes
I would have gone to Afghanistan
Throw out the video recorder of last Commandant Massoud's interview
I would have been in Angola
and ask to Adebayor’s team not to go now
I would have gone to Clichy-sous-Bois
to switch off the electricity block before Zyed an Bouna came in
I would have gone to Kunta Kinte or on Goree Island
To give them guns before the come in of the settlers
I would have meet army's african soldierswho fought for freedom to tell them that one insults their sons as fuckin’ immigrants
I would have gone to Austria to avoid that Adolf Hitler's parent meet together ever
But even if I had the Nakamura’s power
What could I done against Haiti's Earthquake, the Tsunami or Katrina ?
And for Alaska ?
Everything that nature gave us,
she will take it back
So many things that I wish I could change or live
So many things that I wish I could delete or live again
But that's impossible my friend
I take a breath and I blow ma thirtieth candle
 
[Outro]
I would have liked to travel through time
But we can only live in the present
We can only live in the present
[Indila]
Be here and now live your life!
The world is awaiting for a better future, we're one and we're willing to share love and happiness
But all we can do is live the present time
