For the Tears In Our Eyes

The nation echoes sorrowful songs Something terrible has happened It is not for the first time That we are tearful What was hidden inside Is now out in the open We held our hands together And our hearts have gone wild This breeze of disunity The bewildered situation Of a scarred people The nation speaks a language of its own We were destined to meet And our lives are now full of tears Suffering is now a part of our lives We wonder what has happened It all seems like a dream It feels like we are Not meant to be together The seed of discontent has been Sowed deep within And the flag is drenched in deceit The setting of the dream In the distant past We have lost to our anthem
