Let the children of the world live to see tomorrow
shout for the future looks familiar
In the face of uncertainties that abound to cross our hearts
chasing a generation flee to the promised land
My mother was brought up around here
but she is retired to the place she calls home
making it is the name of our journey
to the land yet known but promising they said
Abraham was our father for the urban earth
making moves to abate poverty of the heart
building for tomorrow never seen we rejoices
our days remain counted because we loved
the prologue has been made to include our voices
and the epilogue seems to be excluding our concerns
children of the world remain concerned and unperturbed
can’t fold our hands to see yesterday repeated
let the drums roll out and the voices heard
like never before in the spirit of solidarity
forever we remain open to sustainable development
since it is our generation that can make it happen
a generation of change, ready and out to perform
we frown at some issues as liberals in a conservative world
chewing the issues in the formula that fathers understand
we remain fundamentally unbiased for the just course!
Let the tomorrow come and build today for the world –
our prayer in psalms!
Because it’s our future that counts
Yes – it is our fortunate age of action beckons.
