There's a Cry

COBHAMS EMMANUEL ASUQUO, TIMI DAKOLO

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
