The Vanguards of Tomorrow As there is no today without a yesterday No tomorrow without a today No future without a past And no past without a present This is the ‘world ‘of our youth The vanguards of tomorrow When our yesterday was marred by strife Our today ravaged by bitterness and rancour Then our past has made no progress into the present And our present has no hope for the future This is the ‘world’ of our youth The vanguards of tomorrow There is no food to eat No money in the pocket No job in the horizon No bed to lay our heads This is the ‘world’ of our youth The vanguards of tomorrow The politicians have raped democracy Their word is never their bond Millions have been looted With allies and cronies Into accounts overseas There is no hope for the future There is no hope for the youth This is the ‘world’ of the youth The vanguards of tomorrow Yet we strive in faith and hope Hoping tomorrow will be a better day But our silence has reached a breaking point Endurance has limit Arise! Arise! Arise! The vanguards of tomorrow If we fail today, a tomorrow will never be! « return. |
