Wounded Country

Time was left to mend a wounded country – now it’s time for us to step in, To gather the shattered pieces of glass, of the past, as they have caused sin. Is war not a sin? Shouldn’t the shattered glass be thrown away? It’s us who will pay, and no longer should we stand silently, We’ll pay the ransom of the war that has affected us, With the power of a united country overcoming, all that’s kept us from becoming. At peace with the other side, let’s unite and not collide! We must become a whole country, not half or less, And prove triumphant over hate. The war may be over but think again; it's NOT! For the sake of a future, the bitterness must be forgot! Ever since birth we’ve shared the same homeland, From the mountains' snow, to the beaches’ sand The ghost of the past has been haunting us for so long. Let’s accept that it’s of the same country that we belong.
