O Saviours
O Saviours!
We wondered through the valley
Our hands clenched together
Culture destroyed us
Our mother's tongue brought pain to us
It torn us apart and brought subjugated Joy
Here you come,"to save"
Here you come,"to help"
Here we sit, eyes shut;arms akimbo waiting
Here you are:
Setting up schools,preaching the gospel, building industries, inventing scary magnificent giants,producing multi-coloured pomade in the name of pigmentation
What happened?
Our melanin!Our pride was stripped off!
O Saviours! O Saviours!
You hurt us
You hurt our land
You hurt our world
O Saviours!O Saviours!
You saved us
You brought good to us
You made us wise
