A place so beautiful and lovely
Turned sadistic and loveless
Plunged into the dark hole
By the wickedness of men
What once harbor development
Now turned to dream killer
By the selfishness of our leader
A peaceful paradise
Now a war zone
Just to prove ego and power.
Justice and truth long eloped
To give rise to corruption
Let’s heal the world
Only a change we need
The audacity to dare to hope
And invest the little we can in it
That change I believe in
Starting with you and me
The little in your hand
Is our needed key to succeed
The time of silent suffering must come to an end
Violence is not the answer
We’ll find better ways
To defeat our age long enemy
The time for change has come.
