Sing a song
For our heroes past
Our wars they fought for long
Our cries fuelled their thirst
Oh young lads, mourn and beat the gong
For death came for them all at last

Sing a song
For our ***** friends
Our pains they felt
Broken hearts they mend
And with their radiant smile
For us they could walk a thousand mile

Sing a song
For our daring mothers
Nine months they strived
Death, they might have bribed
Watching us crawl brought tears to their eyes
And their only goal, is to watch us rise

Sing a song
For our now leaders
Promises they made before gotten desires
Our sweats for cars, villas, and empires
Oh ye children are the leaders of tomorrow
But still, we are inflicted with pains and sorrows
Greed comes with a blind fold, disguising who to follow
But let's just keep calm, and hope for a better tomorrow
