THE OTHER LAND


Take me with the wind to the land with no suffering./ Don’t tell me that it doesn’t exist coz I can hear people singing./
So take me to this land where there is happy music,/ where life is long but we still don’t misuse it./
Take me to this place where life is long,/ where humans easily distinguish between right and wrong./ 
So take me to these humans who value the worth of life/ and I will take you to a president who only values the wrath of his wife./

Take me to these people who care about one another,/ where people don’t beg, no poverty no hunger./
Please take me to this place where there is no poverty,/ where observing basic human rights is integrity./ 
So take me to where these rights are observed,/ where despite one’s power the law gives the justice deserved./
So take me to this place where justice is fair/ and I will take you to a government that doesn’t seem to care./

Take me to the law making where everyone is included,/ where everyone is free and spite is eluded./
So take me to where freedom is mined/ where living standards are clearly defined./
Take me to these standards where the money I earn is my own,/ where leaders’ oath to service is not bought but ingrown!/
Take me to the leaders who give us honey instead of bees’ wax/ and I will take you to a parliament where the members comfortably don’t pay tax./

So take me to a parliament where the members legally came in/ and leadership is democratic and not self-proclaiming./
Take me to this democracy that fights for its people,/ where the law regards everyone as equal./
So take me to this law which from oppression will set us free at last,/ where we will look back and be proud of our past./
History repeats itself but because I am proud I don’t want my previous votes back,/ I would prefer new faces and only  then will I take my vote and make my move work./
