We pack our bags, Embarking on a journey we know not its destination. With broken HEARTS and shattered DREAMS, We take up the pieces of what is left of us, Hoping for a better life in a foreign land. A land with endless opportunities, where dreams come true. The journey seems unending, With empty bellies and tired legs, We dream of a land where we would find peace. Away from all the fighting, Away from all the economic hardships, toils and disappointments of life. Yes the journey is a risk, a risk we must to restore our dreams. OH! My heart is burdened, With a thousand questions begging to be answered. Alas what happens to our fatherland? Must we leave because of the challenges we face? Must we leave at a time when we are most needed? If we all leave, who would be there to restore HER glory? « return. |
