[Verse 2]
Why do we lie to the children about their future?
When we are not building good schools
Why do we make our women cry so much?
Why is there no peace in this land?
Why do we have so much darkness in the midst of light?
Why do we have so many leaders who cannot speak the truth?
Why do we have so many young people fleeing this land? Oh Lord, oh Lord, oh, oh
[Verse 3]
