stanza one
oh,my mother of happiness, peace
and prosperity where does this
characters and attributes went
you left an unremarkable story untold
oh,my mother where have you gone
stanza two
with sweet grimes of wisdom beautiful atmosphere
and no one enjoying the liberty of it
you came and went without a reminder of you coming back
stanza three
With problems everywhere and then
A scattered nations who cry's for repairment
Christmas coming and going beautiful and enjoyable for other european and west african countries but we are enjoying the thorn and bitterness of it
with a sorrowful atmosphere
oh, my mother where have you gone
Stanza four
Political leaders grabbing what supposed to be ours
And bestorring them into their homes
while we are left with no bread in the table
oh,my mother where have you gone
leaving us in the middle of the red sea
Stanza five
oh, my mother where have you gone
we used to sleep on the pillows of peace and hopefulness
but now in the pillows of pain and dismay in our hearts
while digesting the sorrowful atmospheric weather conditions
Many youths are dying because of inadequate jobs to feed their families
Stanza six
our wish is to be like other european countries where freedom is exercised
but our hopes are drenched away by the waters of heart break and disappointment
Education back then was a battle tussel
but now a pair bride price with no contempt and respect
oh,my mother where have you gone
Stanza Seven
we pray o
o we pray
God hear our cry's
and renew our historical nations as it was before
oh, my beautiful and mesmerizing kind hearted mother how i think of you
with all the memorable moments you shared with us
from the time you became a republican country in the year 1961
you have always been there for us at the moment we need you but now terms have changed
we used to dance and sing our national anthem with freedom exercised and hopes fulfilled
but our mouths are shut by the breeze of sorrow and pain
oh, my mother where have you gone
