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!
