Always striving

Never forget you were born to be free

To live, to laugh, to love and to hate

To do as you feel in this democratic state

Never forget you were born to live free

To  pray for your soul’s captivity

Never forget you were born to be free

To fight in a war for whose liberty

Handcuffed, and systematically raped

All this is done to your people’s fate

Our richness devalued, our history destroyed

Our legs spread open for the white man’s toy

Never forget you were born to be free

To live your life in captivity

Our brains diseased by their illicit lures

As we forget our heritage and except their folklore

We fell for their lies, their false respect, we laughed

At their jokes however circumspect

Never forget you were born to be free

We laid down our arms in our naive minds

We treated them as to be treated in kind

Bamboozled, hoodwinked they may have our

Bodies but never our mind

Never forget you were born to be free

To pursue your happiness violently

Never forget you were born to be free

By any and all means necessary.
