Give Me the Lighter
Give me the lighter
The days are dark
And cold
The egoistic evildoers
from the top
Controls the switchs of
Our Freedom in Africa
And beyond
In our world today
No wonder truth are
Hard to found on the lips
Of many
Is obvious how
Freedom is deep
Yet expensive in this era
And before now
Give me the lighter
The days are dark and grey
Everyone still fighting
Despite the change of time
The world is still far from unity
What else can we see
To realise what the time speaks
So I chose to life in the dark
Yes I refuse to be teasty
While standing in the clean rivers
Of water
please permit me to light up
The life I know
Permit me to inhale wisdoms
to exhale knowledge
Permit me please
while I chill and breath
With the trees of life
so please
Give me the lighter
