A PLACE WE CALLED HOME

A night of irrefutable entertainment 

The theatre tells of tragic tales of a nation

Sorrow beclouded the plot of nights 

Succumbed to the influence of gore

Like Joy acting behind the scenes.

 A place we called home 

Our eyes hunts the lost glory

Where our hopes was slayed 

now, our nights of plights loses sight

Leading us to lost in the abyss of darkness.

A place we called home 

We were enslaved in our home

Fashioned sorrow as peace

In their cup of frustration

And made us fall in love with our chians.

A place we called home 

Our hope was bewitched by our own leaders

The lyrics and rhythms of our anthem, betrayed

Of the pledge they could not upholds

the wind is not in our threshold

To follow to the jury, for freedom.
