LYRICS
There’s a cry from a young boy, in a city, running wild
There’s a cry from a mother, who just lost another child
There’s a cry from a people, who have nothing more to lose
Everything that they lived for, has been wasted and abused
There’s a cry from a river, that has nowhere to flow
And the pride of the river was lost so long ago
And I cry for a reason, that only heaven knows
Where did they go wrong? How can we go on?
Only hope remains the answer
There’s a man on a mission, there’s a desperate heart to rule
He has love for the people, yet he calls the people fools
He has guns for the people, on a promise yet to come
So they kill one another, for a hope that never comes
There’s a cry from a river, that has nowhere to flow
And the pride of the river was lost so long ago
And I cry for a reason, that only heaven knows
Where did they go wrong? How can we go on?
Only hope remains the answer
There are so many questions, when will all this trouble cease
Like the war in Niger Delta, would we ever live in peace?
I believe in the people, if they only have a chance
There’s a hope for the future, but the future is in our hands
There’s a cry from a river, that has nowhere else to flow
And the pride of the river was lost so long ago
And I cry for a reason, only, only heaven knows
Where did they go wrong?
There’s a cry from a river, that has nowhere else to flow
And the pride of the river was so lost in time
And I cry for a reason, that I can’t tell why
Where did we go wrong? How can we go on?
Only hope remains the answer
There’s a cry from a young boy, in a city, running wild
There’s a cry from a mother, who just lost another child
