I Will Report To God

I will report to God 
He was gone so soon
He left the cold world
So young with a wish 
Cos his life was taken 
By force 
By the hands of political brutality
He was too young 
To understand what was going on 
Why he must feel this painful
Iron rod at his last moment
So he screams with a pride 
Cos he could see after all
Hope is lost 
The presence of God 
Is eternity 

I will report to God 
He was gone so quickly
On the hands of heartless men 
Was the stains of his blood 
After all his pledges 
After all his innocent tears 
Yet he was a victim 
Of political brutality
Gone so young 
But with a promise 
He promised to report to God 
I will tell God everything 
When I get to heaven 
I will tell him how wicked
Is this world 
I will report all you've done 
To me 
I might be young but 
I have God 
I will report all to him 
This words was his last words 
To his killers 
What a world 

I will report to God
This is a child 
Last  wish Before his murder
He promised to report 
The world to God 
He promised to report 
The brutality in Africa to God 
He promised to say to God 
How wicked the world 
Has turn into 
How the sons and daughters 
Of men are heartless 
I wish him well 
I wish him farewell 
I wish he will see God at last 
Rest in peace


Dedicated to the endsars  protest dead victim in Lagos Nigeria
