All Rise
ALL RISE!!!
All rise
Let's make welcome
The brightest son of our land
Whose industrious lifestyle
Has paved, pave and paving ways
For our liberation and spiritual growth.
All rise
A sentence of honor and horror
For the hour of aquital and sentencing
When hope is elated or dashed.
All rise
To the son of the soil
Whose activities are channel
Towards bringing us out of slavery
And fought our battles for independence dependence
Making us vulnerable to Gs.
Daily give credence to the Gs for loans
And highly security system in blessing our minerals
All hail the Gs for fatting on us
While we are daily shrinking.
A step to liberation
Is a threat to the peace of the world
Gadaffi, Ibrahim and others
Are the villains of Africa
While the Gs are our heroes
Just like CBEX and MMM
Served as the last hope of the Poor.
All rise
To the black
Whose belly is never filled up
Like Oliver's twist to bless the Gs
That education on his land
Is not worth attending
The health facilities are not worth its use
Justice system is seen to be outdated
Yet Black's life matters
In convention or in reality?
Nothing is seen to be wrong
Not supporting the liberators
That the Gs are making to be our foes.
We need messiahs
To open the veil off our faces
But how soon will this be?
Life and time will not delay
Time is running fast away
Life is now today, today
Up! And On!
What a lovely sound from C.M.S. Grammar school!
Could the hope of liberty be lost?
No, never.
An affirmation is laid in our heart by Alma Mater
Africa will surely rise
Fail we not in high emprise
Hidden here the secret lies
Up! And On!
No matter how much we rise
In your honor to our dishonored
It will come to pass
That in your colours
You'll say,
All rise to us
