I woke up this morning,
I said to myself am I dreaming?
I saw my country that I cherish and love
Going astray, government officials swiddle money
And nothing is said, all we do is to praise them.
The Lion proudly calls our oil "my oil"
Ever accusing the opposition
For wanting to steal his oil,
Countrymen am I dreaming?
Our assemblage has betrayed us
I say they have betrayed us
Given 625million to construct Akibua stadium
One of our heroes, but that money could only,
Construct a mere tiny toilet
Countrymen just a mere toilet.
Am I dreaming that the opposition
has also betrayed us
Instead of uniting they quarrel amidst themselves
Just like hungry lions
I say opposition is an old new song that has lost meaning.
Am I dreaming?
Some of us need the BUS to stay
Some of us raise the TWO fingers
It has always been yellow versus blue,
Now red has come with its slogan people power
I am seeing a divided country,
That won't be united soon.
Countrymen am I dreaming?
I see our country divided a long tribal lines
I see genocide in future,
I mean terror fellow countrymen
My beloved country am I dreaming?
