Awakening

Twinkle Twinkle little star

We really wonder who you are

Up and up in the World you go so high

Leaving us behind to die

Twinkle Twinkle little star

We really wonder who you are

You come to us expressing your concern

You share our sorrow together we mourn

You promise us a world of dream

You assure us land of honey and cream

Soon dreams are forgotten promises lost

You discard us like a diseased host

We see your castle grow higher and higher

We drown in flood and burn in fire

Twinkle Twinkle little star

We really wonder who you are

We have slept long enough now we are awake

We have dreamt long enough now we can tell your fake

You can no more force us to sleep

While higher and higher in your castle you creep

Our resolve is strong our goal is clear

Our god is work we move without fear

So beware of what you do

We now watch your entire move

Do not divide us on lines of cast and creed

We are now familiar with you and your greed

Twinkle Twinkle little star

We really wonder who you are

We have joined hands and formed a bond

Your days are numbered your time is gone

You will fail to match our marching pace

History will remember you with disgrace

We stand on the threshold of a new time

Where none is forgotten and labour is sublime

We have patiently waited for this new dawn

That will bring back the National pride foregone

So do not repeat your old way

You no more impress you will loose face

Twinkle Twinkle little star

We really wonder who you are
