To start at the beginning
To find where it went wrong
To numb the pain of an aching heart
Its so hard staying strong

We've been burned, we've been in a thousand parts torn.
We've lost a thousand ones of our heroes to the brazen wars.
Oh! Let us not be haunted by their ghostly refrain songs.
Rest them in perfect peace oh Dear God!

We've smeared the pages of history with their bloods.
We've stabbed their innocence with the crescent and the cross.
We've stoked the fiery fires of hell for profit and loss.
And for wanton greed we've washed us in gore.

We've cried, we've cried before this day
That these streets with men fill away
As we forgive our pasts, and start new day.
Cos Baba is here; here to stay.

Baba, we know you don't own a magic stick.
And you don't believe in sorcery or things occultic.
But please heed to the wisdom our muses speak:

That:


Change comes from within
To make a difference;
A man himself must be different
A military dictator gone
A humanitarian born

Silence is the goal of tyrants
Evil prospers when unchallenged
But a great leader listens
And voices out the people's emotion
Taking the heart of a nation to devotion

Beware of the sycophants
They are false friends
The speak to only their pockets
They sing praises to deceive
While their coffers receive

Remember the green
For it is fertility
Sow into the motherland
And treat our resources with care
From the harvest, our nation will share

Remember the white
For it is peace
Reject the notions of the tribalists
Reject the notions of the fundamentalists
For they divide us into unnecessary lists

Remember yourself
Remember your promises
Remember your past
Remember your vision
These will help in your future decisions
