Where Did Justice Go

Where did justice go
Who saw justice
Please ask her to come 
Down here on earth
Her Presence is 
greatly appreciated
Down here in Africa
We are in need of her
For the trouble of 
Yesterday still
Never seize to rule
Over here

Oh If you see justice
Tell her down 
Here there is an 
Emergency

Where did justice go
Oh justice how come
You are no where to be found 
I know this greedy men
Made you run so far
I could understand why 
You disappear like a ghost
Oh justice I know you 
Are not angry with the innocent
For our hand strive to reach you

Oh If you see justice
Tell her down
Here there is an 
Emergency

Where did justice go
Is an emergency here
In the so called third word
Where life is like a grief
Death mean nothing to
Us any more
After all what is the use of
Life to live for nothing 
So many voice with a pain
Yet justice is on exile

Oh if you see justice 
Tell her down
Here there is an 
Emergency

Where did justice go
On a second thought 
I look around all
Over planet earth 
Like I don't know
Yet I see justice is 
So rare
We scare her away like 
She is an outcast
Through our war 
We let her remain too
Far among us
Oh justice
There is an 
Emergency
Run come 
Where ever you are 

Oh if you see justice
Tell her down 
here there is an
Emergency
