Now the giant has become a she-goliath, destroyed by her own
And slowly but surely is heading for a great fall
Terrible roads, terrible lights
Are all I see this black sad night
Little children hawking on the streets
Is this how it’s meant to be?
Everywhere I look I see unhappy faces
So many wishing they were in other places
Things get worse as each day passes
Especially for the unfortunate masses
Whose lives are filled with sorrow and pain
More of loss and less of gain
52 years down the line
52 years and there’s still no sign
Of restoration or fulfillment
Each passing day is filled with regret
Once upon a time we were heading for greatness
Heralded as a giant, envied by all
Now the giant has become a she-goliath, destroyed by her own
And slowly but surely is heading for a great fall
Falling headlong into destruction
And some still say we have a destination
Tell me where it is, tell me I say
Is it anywhere good?
I can bet the answer is nay
The great giant of Africa is on her face
Looking like she has been trampled by a horse
Who will be our saving grace?
Who on earth will redeem us?
