NINE LIVES
When stars go to bed
And the sun closes its eyes
When the moon fails to shine
Yet we see light all around
It speaks just one word
Hope!
When the birds refuse to sing
And trees fail to dance and clap
When the psalmist loses his lyrics
Yet there is a melody in our hearts
It speaks just one word
Joy!
When hate stings
And venom of rage ravages
When friends turn to foes
And brothers pick up arms
Yet you draw no battle line
It speaks of just one word
Forgiveness!
When pillars crumble
And caterpillars smile
When warriors breakdown
And the spirit is wounded
Yet you stand strong
It speaks of just one word
Courage!
When fruits fall off
And leaves turn brown
When the fruit tree is cut off
And their flamboyant flowers wither
Yet the roots remain underneath
It speaks of just one thing
Regeneration!
Money may come
But it must go
Power may come
But it must go
Men may come
But they must go
Tears may come
But that must also go
GNS came
And he is gone
You and I came
And we must also go
Go, yes go
Go, GNS go
In peace with cheers
For peace, yes peace!
Plateau loves you
Berom miss you
Lo-bard mourns you
Adieu great patriot
We shall ever be
Greater Together
