Albinos' Song
A song of love to all ALBINOS, a song I will sing till my last day.
Let every lung help out in singing
Let every mouth breath the song I air
Let everyone blessed with muscles flex
For this is a war we must win
Blood must be shed in combat
And we have shed enough blood already
They have cut our hair
They have mutilated our genitals
I cry because I have no nails
For they have chopped them off
Please join hands with me in this battle
I can’t win it without your help
HELP ME SING THIS SONG
For I know you love me
SING ALONG THE SONG
All the way from Tanzania to Gabon
Through Kenya to Nigeria
For we are all vulnerable
They are killing us
I am a seven years old boy from Embu
I have provoked no one to deserve this
My beloved uncle can do this
When we share the same blood
Blood is thicker than water
My teacher said so
But not any more when am who I am
I am not safe even at home
Sing the song too laud for everyone to hear
Because even the police do nothing to help
I am an isolated molecule
Watching over my shoulders every time someone whispers
PLEASE SING THIS SONG TO EVERY LIVING SOUL
For this is a war we must win
I am a young girl
Suffering from the incurable disease
I wasn’t born with it
I haven’t sinned to get it
I got it because I am an Albino
Superstitions led him to me
He raped me because he believed I’d bring him luck
Those are stereotypes
How can I heal you if I can’t heal myself?
You can’t cure me now
But you can give me humble time to live with my dilemma
And I will forgive him for what he did
And love you for that
SING THIS SONG ALONG
For this is a war we must win
Am just a kid, a mother, a father, a sister, a brother
Love me for I love you
Like it or not we are stuck in this planet together
I fear no death for you have killed me many times
I have bled in my heart severely
PLEASE SING ALONG
For I need you hand and mouth in this battle
I am a loving ALBINO
With so many tales to tell my kids
Don’t take that away from me
Protect me because I always gat your back
SING ALONG
In twitter, facebook, blog, news papers, radio, TV
For this is a war we must win
SING ALONG MY FRIEND
For I am the blessed one
Sure you don’t want my extinction
For your kids will hate you in years to come
SING ALONG AGAIN
FOR YOU DON’T KNOW WHAT COULOR IS YOUR NEXT KID
I AM AN ALBINO AND YOU CAN’T CHANGE THAT
