Mr
Peace,
aka
Culture
Oh
Lord,
hear
our
cry
in
the
night
Lupila
fela
Kono
lumwa
savo
Oh
God,
show
us
mercy,
show
us
your
grace
Fathers
and
Mothers,
listen
to
the
plea
Uncles
and
Aunties,
come
stand
here
with
me
Brothers
and
Sisters,
lift
your
hands
to
the
sky
People
nowadays,
they
just
die
like
flies
The
shadow
is
long,
the
sun
is
growing
dim
Maybe
we
are
reaching
the
end
of
the
world
again
The
road
is
uncertain,
the
burdens
are
heavy
and
cold
We
need
your
protection,
as
we
walk
through
the
fold
Premature
death,
go
away
from
my
family!
Premature
death,
go
away
from
my
friends!
We
want
to
live,
we
want
to
see
our
children
grow
We
want
to
live,
we
want
to
see
our
children
grow
Seventy
years,
eighty
years,
as
You
promised,
Baba
We
call
on
Your
name,
cast
the
spirit
of
the
grave
away
We
want
to
see
the
dawn
of
a
brand
new
day
Why
do
the
young
ones
fall
before
their
prime?
Why
does
the
reaper
come
before
the
appointed
time?
We
look
at
the
papers,
we
look
at
the
news
So
many
mothers
wearing
the
darkest
of
hues
But
You
are
the
healer,
the
fountain
of
life
You
are
the
comfort
in
the
midst
of
the
strife
Let
the
breath
of
the
Spirit
blow
over
the
land
Hold
us,
O
Father,
in
the
palm
of
Your
hand
Premature
death,
go
away
from
my
family!
Premature
death,
go
away
from
my
friends!
We
want
to
live,

We

of
a
brand
new
day
Oh,
let
the
promise
hold
true
Let
us
grow
old
in
the
presence
of
You
Not
snatched
in
the
morning,
not
gone
in
the
dark
Light
up
our
future,
re-kindle
the
spark
We
trust
in
Your
mercy,
we
trust
in
Your
word
Let
our
petition
today
be
heard
Premature
death,
go
away
from
my
family!
Premature
death,
go
away
from
my
friends!
We

to
live,
we
