It's 60+ years of Independence
The freedom fighters have long gone
For the problems have replaced our anthem, that is now just a song
Somebody wake up the Bard
Our sister has been raped
My friend molested and young daughter pregnant
My wife hasn't returned home yet
Somebody wake up the Bard
Onions have replaced gold
Whistleblowers silenced and corruption knocking on our door
Nights spent around candles and in tears
Somebody wake up the Bard
The news anchors are screaming
Colors have replaced truth in the papers
You, me and the random citizen is confused
Somebody wake up the Bard
We need words that move nations
Passions stirred and emotions flowing
For the youth, child, old and the unborn to be marching
Somebody wake up the Bard
