There’s a Cry

{Verse 1}

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

{Chorus}

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

{Verse 2}

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

{Chorus}

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

{Verse 3}

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

{Chorus}

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

{Outro}

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
