Even when others reject you I will always be there for you Because I pledged my allegiance to you I believe in your existence I trust your ability Even when the going was getting tough You firmly remained stronger than ever Many rain had fell and sun had risen many time Many ethnic clashes had visited you Many threat of breaking up But you still remained firm And that makes you a unique country Despite all the misfortunes You still forge ahead and seek for fortunes Despite all political unrest That arrests your daily governmental activities Despite the economical instability That derailed your ability as a nation Despite all forms of hatred from outside world That painted you red and a no-go area You are still surviving as a nation You re the best among the rest It is only some people with greediness That want to bring you unhappiness You re healthy before they began their unhealthy activities And they sucked your treasury Just as babies suck their mother breast And yet, you did not dry They brought corruption into your system And you had been suffering from it for ages They brought mal-administration into your affairs And this had been the genesis of all your tribulations I hope you fight back one day And bring sanity to your system Your worries will soon be over Your wounds will soon be healed The end will come to your sufferings And you shall one day stand up and fight for yourself Then; you shall be walking and not crawling again and again. « return. |
