If
Peace speak our language
And unity tells our strength
Then we wouldn't have built a fence, but rather a bridge
If
Truth was our anthem
And culture was our symbol
Then lies would have been far from our tongue
If
Morals sing our praises
And love cement our heart
Then blood would have been far from earth.
If
Security was not far from the land
And nepotism is set aside
Then the land wouldn't have become a battle field but a place of rest
If
I stretch my hands
And you stretch your hands
Then we would touch the sky
If
All if could be...if
Then the land will smile again.
