We gained independence, but we lost our people.
No Gandhi or Buddha can cure its deadly flaws
Power by the few and only for the few and others on mercies seasaws
Dammed are our rivers,where gentle waves once sluiced
Gone those vibrant green forests where plumed birds sung
Starvation on every lip, ill health,books and virtues lie in dust
our land, our hopes all snatched from our hands
Rise O man, awaken from your slumber
Roar like a lion and blow like thunder
Take these edifices down and raze every throne asunder
We this planets children and this earth our mothers womb
Power by the few and only for the few and others on mercies seasaws
Dammed are our rivers,where gentle waves once sluiced
Gone those vibrant green forests where plumed birds sung
Starvation on every lip, ill health,books and virtues lie in dust
our land, our hopes all snatched from our hands
Rise O man, awaken from your slumber
Roar like a lion and blow like thunder
Take these edifices down and raze every throne asunder
We this planets children and this earth our mothers womb
