We stand on the threshold of justice and equity
As each stand is a stand that will go down memory lane
That will speak for generation to come
As each is fashioned and shining as that of the sun
To dare to look on
We walk the walk for the emancipation
Of our people from all forms of opposition
We want to make sure everyone is free indeed
From the hands of those which oppresses
To hold out too long to save from misdeeds
The misdeeds of the strong oppressing the week
To let the week stand and stand tall irrespective of anything
From the one on the street to the one out there on the highs
Of life some we are here for all of us
Not a self centred kind
Here and there everyone
A crime is committed and no one wants to be caught
Or better held responsible as all is above the law
The law of the land becoming so afraid of some people
But the law was made to be feared and follow by all
What it becomes when the people
Are scared of speaking up speaking out
In the midst of deceit and unfair treatment merited by the mighty
As some broke the law and get away with it
While some broke the law and face the consequence
The rich are getting richer
While the poor masses are afraid of living tomorrow
The state has come to the point where once justice prevail
Now injustice takes the front seat in every society
Lacking of honesty now truth has no home
It has been chased out from the four walls
Of the judicial house to the point of no return
Sending her out of the national assembly
Away from it all, injustice looms the land
That state of the nation in a pitiable state
Until truth is brought back
That’s when everything will be fine
With our nation because will have come this far
And we cannot seek to watch the labour of our hero’s past
Been in vain the best time to start is now we are building a nation
