Remember the father

You thought you had

The best of your heart

And the heat in the fields



Then one day

They took him away

For sins that weren't revealed

And you cried every night

For no-one heard your pain



You struggled and fought

Against men who had sought

To silence your voice

Kill or be killed is the only law of the jungle



It doesn't matter

Now you're all grown up

You have their attention, they almost salute

It's so different now

You lead them by the hand

Isn't it strange the things children do

What children can do



You made a vow

That's a promise now

To turn the tables round

You worked for respect

And the power that it brings



They look to you for the future

You hold it in your hands

Don't despair

Don't look back

Don't give in
