Life stood still for a stronger life
People saw visions that lack meanings
Our waters rose to swallow waters
Even in the face of unperturbed miracles

We have seen lives that are lacking
Our imaginations imagine terrible thoughts
Conditioning our conditions to untold stories
Haven forgotten our mission in a strange land

Look us to the face and laugh laud instead
It’s our night journey without light
Our sacred courts have seen unborn pregnancies
Leaving the children of mere-men incapacitated

We count our losses before the days business finish
Remain obedient to the trial that educates our chances
Our consciences became afraid of the blues and blacks
In a land unknown to strangers, yet too familiar
We are also lost in the bush with them!
