[male vocals] Nna,
the
sun
is
setting
on
our
dreams
today
Chai,
the
road
is
long
and
the
shadows
stay
I
remember
the
stories
of
the
golden
dawn
When
the
fire
of
freedom
kept
us
moving
on
But
the
leaders
we
chose
have
turned
their
backs
away
But
the
leaders
we
chose
have
turned
their
backs
away
And
the
promises
made
have
all
gone
grey
We
wake
up
early
to
face
the
morning
sun
But
the
battle
for
a
better
life
is
never
won
The
Enugu
breeze
blows
cold
upon
my
skin
Wondering
where
the
light
has
really
been
Oh,
my
country,
why
you
break
my
heart
like
this?
Living
in
a
dream
that
we
always
miss
We
build
the
houses
but
we
sleep
outside
Trying
to
find
a
place
where
we
can
hide
Oh,
my
country,
why
you
break
my
heart
like
this?
Is
this
the
life
that
we
should
have
kissed?
Omo,
the
silence
in
the
streets
is
getting
loud
We
are
searching
for
a
vision
in
the
heavy
cloud
The
isi
ewu
cold,
the
palm
wine
bitter
now
To
change
our
story,
we
are
taking
a
vow
The
children
ask
me
where
the
future
lies
I
cannot
look
them
straight
within
their
eyes
We
work
so
hard
but
the
system
holds
us
down
In
this
land
of
kings,
we
wear
a
hollow
crown
Oh,
my
country,
why
you
break
my
heart
like
this?
Living
in
a
dream
that
we
always
miss
We
build
the
houses
but
we
sleep
outside
Trying
to
find
a
place
where
we
can
hide
Trying
to
find
a
place
where
we
can
hide
Oh,
my
country,
why
you
break
my
heart
like
this?
Is
this
the
life
that
we
should
have
kissed?
Chai!
The
weight
is
too
much
for
a
single
soul
We
lost
the
rhythm,
we
lost
the
control
But
in
the
struggle,
we
still
pray
for
rain
To
wash
away
the
sorrow
and
the
bitter
pain
Oya,
look
at
the
streets
of
Lagos
at
night
We
are
still
chasing
a
flicker
of
a
light
It
is
not
the
land,
it
is
the
hand
that
leads
Ignoring
all
the
people
and
their
deepest
needs
But
one
day
soon,
the
truth
will
surely
rise
And
we
will
see
the
freedom
in
the
open
skies
Until
that
day,
we
walk
this
lonely
line
Waiting
for
the
stars
of
hope
to
finally
shine
Oh,
my
country,
why
you
break
my
heart
like
this?
Living
in
a
dream
that
we
always
miss
We
build
the
houses
but
we
sleep
outside
Trying
to
find
a
place
where
we
can
hide
Oh,
my
country,
why
you
break
my
heart
like
this?
Is
this
the
life
that
we
should
have
kissed?
Broken
promises
of
home,
we
still
remain
Walking
through
the
fire
and
the
pouring
rain
Ah
ah,
the
story
will
change
one
day
Chai,
we
still
believe,
we
still
pray.
