| My story, sad story now,
|
| Still waiting for the truth to be told now,
|
| It won’t be long now, won’t be long.
|
| Heard the news,
|
| Heard your rivers all run dry.
|
| And on TV I see missiles in your sky.
|
| Word is out, loud whispering going on,
|
| Oh angels turned mercenaries coming ten thousand strong.
|
| Oh obeng Uhuru motherland,
|
| Oh obeng Uhuru black and white sand.
|
| Oh obeng Uhuru motherland,
|
| Oh obeng Uhuru black and white sand.
|
| Motherland I know you love your family,
|
| Break the chains and set yourself free.
|
| Sound the drums, bring the children to the fold,
|
| The grand reunion, the war is getting cold.
|
| Oh obeng Uhuru motherland,
|
| Oh obeng Uhuru black and white sand.
|
| Oh obeng Uhuru motherland,
|
| Oh obeng Uhuru black and white sand.
|
| My story, sad story now,
|
| Still waiting for the truth,
|
| Your story now.
|
| I know it won’t be long, won’t be long.
|
| Now ir won’t be long now.
|
| I see children wearing bellies in their backs,
|
| Where did the train slip off the tracks,
|
| I wanna know now.
|
| Sign reads 'help' promoted throughout the world,
|
| With the picture of a little boy a little girl.
|
| Blood is red fits different shades of color,
|
| I wanna know who is in my corner,
|
| L wanna know now.
|
| Oh obeng Uhuru motherland,
|
| Oh obeng Uhuru black and white sand.
|
| Oh obeng Uhuru motherland,
|
| Oh obeng Uhuru black and white sand.
|
| My story, sad story now,
|
| Still waiting for the truth,
|
| Your story make me worry now.
|
| Heard the news, heard the rivers all run dry.
|
| And on TV I see missiles in your sky.
|
| Word is out, loud whispering going on,
|
| Oh angels turned mercenaries coming ten thousand strong.
|
| Oh obeng Uhuru motherland,
|
| Oh obeng Uhuru black and white sand.
|
| Oh obeng Uhuru motherland,
|
| Oh obeng Uhuru black and white sand… |
