A Song For a Conquered Race

Though each rising power has a fall Yet how long some of the races of the world will remain conquered I know each aspiration will rise and touch the land of the sky Each ambition will reach to its destination in time Yet how long some of the races of the world will remain without home We may go without food, without drink But how long races have to live without freedom? We go to sleep and we rise again But this time reason has come to let ourselves lose to achieve our dream The dream to have a national flag on the top our house to fly A national song to sing full throat You all know, we are under a giant octopus Bombs and bullets will not work As it has hydrogen and neutrons What we need to do is to awake their neurons Or pray to god to stir their conscience And tell them how long the races of the world will remain conquered Give us back a portion of our land and take whatever you can But please, please for God’s sake grant us a state independent And make us obliged to your 21st century ethics and morality.
