Voices Unbound
<p>Voices unbound, our sorrows unleashed&nbsp;</p><p><br></p><p>We scream and hope our voices are heard</p><p>We cry, blood dripping freely from our eyes</p><p>Our mothers wail, their hands on their head</p><p>Our fathers shake their head, melancholy in their eyes</p><p><br></p><p>Our country which we call our home</p><p>Is shattering right before our eyes</p><p>Who shall save us, and save our home&nbsp;</p><p>Who shall free us, bondage our enemies&nbsp;</p><p><br></p><p>All the labour our heroes past is in vain</p><p>And all we can do is nothing but wail</p><p>We can only look to God our help</p><p>To save us all from this pain&nbsp;</p><p><br></p><p>We pray in the morning and pray in the night</p><p>We hold our religion so tight in our hands</p><p>But our hearts says something different&nbsp;</p><p>Our actions but without care of our faith&nbsp;</p><p><br></p><p>Who can save us, our fallen generation&nbsp;</p><p>Who can rescue us, our failing youths&nbsp;</p><p>And so we cry out, our hands on our head</p><p>Our voices Unbound, our sorrows unleashed&nbsp;</p>
