Chris Berry Waniso lyrics

In a land called “Down Under”
The people got together
They were 40,000 strong
And they required of me a song

Just before the new millennium
They came to tell me that the time had come
Up on the stage I told everybody,
“I'm gonna be a daddy”

We sang 2000 in
Then climbed a mountain
To pray give way
To this a brand new day
And as the first light cut the dawn
I heard a voice from clear and strong

“The mountains you have climbed,
Your children will fly from”
The mountains we have climbed
Our children will fly from
See, the mountains we have climbed
Our children will fly from

Rushed to the hospital
Condition critical
Some thought that you would not make it through
They didn't know what I knew

This day a ray of hope would be born
2:22's the time they gave me to you
You smiled, my child
So bright and I knew
Those words I heard, oh yeah, they spoke of you

“The mountains we have climbed
Our children will fly from”
See, the mountains we have climbed
Our children will fly from
The mountains we have climbed
Our children will fly from

Waniso, oh Waniso
I keep on climbing up (Waniso, oh waniso...)
Keep on climbing higher
I won't stop til I reach
Til I reach the top
Keep on getting up
Keep on climbing higher
Keep on going up
I keep on climbing for you
Do every thing I can do
I'll keep loving for you
