Arise oh compatriots!
Arise! Thy light has Come.
It is time to stand and obey.
Can you put your strength together to become one? In love?
Our ancestors are weeping,
They see the river of blood.
Corruption has caused a ghastly accident!
We are wounded in our heart and our faith.
Has the giant of Africa fallen?
"Las Las all na cruise".
When would we stop the facade.
The blame game has been a hot seat,
Who do we blame now?
The government? Colonial masters?
Who?
We want change but cling to our darkened linens, hurting each other.
Muting each other! Becoming puppets!
We laugh with empty bellies.
We hope without a foundation.
We look at the sky with disdain.
Wake up! Arise!
The light has Come!
The land is green!
There is hope. Not now but surely,
Our flag will fly high once again.
October 1st is for healing not to open up old scars. Let's do it right!
