WHERE DID WE LOSE OUR WAY?

We harboured a dream
Believing freedom would bring us joy
We sought to liberate ourselves
From the shackles of colonial reign

Freedom arrived, vast and unrestrained
To our prayers God answered 
"So help me God, so help me God,"
He endowed us with the spirit to persevere.

He fortified us to navigate
Through civil strife and turmoil
We triumphed over Ebola, COVID we defeated 
Yet, why do we lament over Kush?

Where did we go wrong?
How did we evolve into a fractured nation
Polarized in beliefs and thoughts—
What happened to the melody of our anthem?

Where is the love we pledge?
Do we still serve her faithfully?
