You said I have rights You made us promises You said we own the lands But the minerals are yours And you want peace This you seek is possibly impossible
You said my people are your people With your sweet savouring tongue You preached unity and true federalism I believed without a doubt Yet, my people are impoverished But today I say, not anymore
I see Armies rising They are sold out to a cause One people, one mind, one voice From age long oppressions they will liberate their people Even if it is their last assignment That's why I see fresh air coming It is closer than you think
But you have a choice Restructure now or suture tomorrow If it is our land, it is our resources Not yours and your cabals Before the rain comes thunder You have been advised
Let the town crier sound the gong Gather all the villagers Let your strong men volunteer Let the women sing Let the children watch and learn As we "Balm" these ones for exploits
It is better to live for something Than to die for nothing Even if you fail, they will remember you And forever Crest your name in their hearts With your picture on their wall You will be their greatest inspiration...
This could cost our life Is this really a part we want to thread? We really don't want bloodshed Let us come back to the table Shake this table that it breaks Then restructure, to secure our future
We believe in our indivisibility We can turn our waste to wealth Covert our diversity to opportunities Turn our population to blessings and not curses But then, collectively, we say "No" to oppression and violence However, the choice is yours...
