From generation to generation
every one in his emotion
for to move the motion
to bring about the new man
They all toilled
they all struggled
they all laboured
to bring about the new man
The Nigerians and Camerounians
the Kenyans and tha Ghananians
people of every land and clime
all toiled for the golden futures time
They all knew it was almost impossible
but still tried to make it possibe
they all fought tirelessly
they killed and were killed
They all struggled
they allo toiled
they all strived
to bring about a new man
A new man, a brown new man
a new mind, a brown new mind
a new world, abrown new world
a new man with new mind in a new world
Many died for the new man
some injured for the new mwn
others crushed for the new man
all these done by the old man
To eradicate the old man
and create a new man
wthout curruption and vice
to be planted in the new world
But it never came to pass
the deaths of the dead were in vain
the injuries of the injured all vanity
for now the old man still reigns
For he walks from east to west
from south to north
majestically, in his full glory as a king
in his old world built on questionable foundations.
