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
