BRING BACK OUR GIRLS


In the light of the day they came Taking our girls into captivity Giving them a new name Damsels in distress No ransoms asked No reasons given Leaving us hollow With no choice but to follow Night and day we marched Bodies piling up in our wake All, fallen men of valor Who gave their lives for our sake Religion gives us prayers Our country gives us weapons All to strengthen our faith So that we march again With renewed strength and hope That we bring our girls home.
