DEATH WHY HAVE YOU TAKEN OUR PRESIDENT

DEATH WHY HAVE YOU
TAKEN OUR PRESIDENT
Sadness how have you Interrupted the moment of happiness.
Dark cloud how have you hovered over
The bright day – spoiling the party suddenly
Quenching the jubilation of the nation
For its golden jubilee
Sadness why are you the last one to laugh
Look we sob endlessly and the
Tragic hand of misery fastens our hearts
What a merciless robber you are
Death why have you taken our president
Without giving notice or sign, you
Crush our hearts - devastate our emotions
We remember you for pain [oh death]
From day one you have delighted in
Taking prey of us – you have filled your
Berry and it’s full of our fresh
When will you be satisfied and set us free
You took president Mwanawasa
And our tears filled the rivers but
Your grudge wasn’t still settled
Your hunger and anger was as relentless
You still have come and taken from us
Our dear president s Sata
Death on earth, what do want us to pay
How surprisingly you orphan the nation?
Surely without remorse
You send the millions into bereavement
What song shall we sing since?
This calamity won’t reverse
Be strong nation – unite together
This storm like any other life storm
Will pass- we shall overcome
