MORE THAN THREE MILLION SOULS

Have you ever lost someone
So dear to you?
Have you ever heard million
Cry from the children that lost
Their mother or listen to the
Sound of nature when it cry?
More than three million souls
Cries in my ears

Sometime in July 1967
Cloud seized to cover,
Sun seized to shine and
Moon seized to light our night
I cried and cried but nothing
Happened.
Just for aims of power
I lay in my own blood
Losing life like it never counts
More than three million souls
Were lost in my arms

Much had happened in time
And UN, OAU and Amnesty international
Watchs on with eyes opened in years
As a child I have cried and I have lost
Tears in things I cried for
More than three million souls call
For freedom in my eyes as I watch

Just close your eyes and open it
See a lot of life going off in dust
Let rain that fall upon me, turn
To peace to wet all the worries
I see now
I stand for peace to gain which I have
Lost in years.
Freedom I see in my tears as I cry
I can't run away anymore
More than three million souls long from
Dust for freedom.
