TO A DEAR FRIEND

WHAT IS GOING ON IN YOUR TOWN?
IT’S going DOWN
BOY’S DYING
GIRL’S CRYING
THEY WALK TOGETHER
AND SING TOGETHER
THEY CRY OVER LAND
AND RAI OVER PAIN
THEY MARCH ONE AFTER ANOTHER
AND WAIT SO DEEP IN VAIN
THEY WANT JUSTICE
IS THAT TOO MUCH TO ASK?
WHY NOT GIVE THE OPPORTUNITY
AND don’t turn your back
HOW CAN YOU JUST SIT THERE
AND SEE THEM DIE ONE AFTER ANOTHER
HOW CAN YOU JUST SIT THERE
AND HEAR THEM CRUMBLE
THEY STRIVE FOR MONEY
AND PLEA FOR WORTHY
EITHER YOU MARCH WITH THEM
OR FIGHT FOR THEM
YOU HAVE SO MUCH TO OFFER MY FRIEND
DON’T THROW ALL YOUR POTENTIAL
YOU CAN SPEAK IN THREE DIFFERENT WAYS
SO SHOW THEM YOU HAVE CREDENTIAL
DO ALL IT TAKES TO GAIN YOUR SPOT
PLEASE DON’T GIVE UP
AS YOU HAVE DONE IN YOUR PAST
YOU KNOW YOU HAVE POWER
DON’T BE SHY TO SPEAK FOR YOUR LAND
BECAUSE WHAT YOU FIGHT FOR
HASNI TOOK WITH HIS HANDS
HE DIED WITH DIGNITY AND CONTROL
HE DIED WITH ONE LAST WORD IN STORE
HE LEFT IT UP TO YOU TO SEE
THAT THE COUNTRY YOU FIGHT FOR
IS WORTH EVERYTHING AND HOLDS THAT KEY
SO COME ON MY FRIEND
STAND for what you see
STAND UP, cry, fight and rai with me
do it nabil!
do it for your country.
