| Let the children of the world live to see tomorrow Shout for the future looks familiar and bright But uncertainties abound to cross our hearts Causing a generation flee to the Promised Land My mother was brought up around my village But she is retired to the place she calls home Making it is the name of my journey To the land yet unknown but promising Abraham was our father for the urban earth Making moves to abate poverty of the heart Building for tomorrow never seen we rejoice Our days remain counted because we loved The prologue has been made to include our voices And the epilogue seems to be excluding our concerns Children of the world remain concerned and perturbed Can’t fold our hands to see yesterday repeated Let the drums roll out and youth voices heard Like never before in the spirit of solidarity Forever we remain open to sustainable development Since it is our generation that can make it A generation of change is ready and out to perform We discuss issues as liberals in a conservative world Chewing the issues is the formula the fathers understood We remain fundamentally unbiased in this just course! Let tomorrow come and build today for the youth Because it’s our future that counts – yes! « return. |
