Change Huh?
Location
Little kids running around with their bellies full
The sun..... yes, the sun beginning to set
The kids still running around, no one is running back into their houses
it's not dark anymore.
The street lights come on and entire city is lit
Just like this, one by one every city is lit
Boys and girls gather around
its's homework time
No more candle lights and dangerous lanterns to set the house in flames
The year is 2020, welcome to Liberia
Once a polluted dark third world country
where kids went days without food
Where a blanket of darkness made every hate the beautiful sunset
Now a beautiful country, with street lights everywhere you go
Electricity in every building and homes
where every city has elcetricty and darkness no longer scares the children
where the fear of fire no longer stems from lit candles
That my friends is my hopes and my dreams
To change my native country, to bring a change that will make a difference
Not just to me or my pockets
But to the people of a country that has terrorized them for years
Man, I can see it now
Change huh?
