I lay silent as the world went about,
They came first for the African
Its wasn’t my continent
So I didn’t speak a word.
I lay silent as the world went about,
They came then for the Arabs
It wasn’t my neighborhood
So I dint speak a word.
I lay silent as the world went about,
They then came for my country
It wasn’t my southern clan
So didn’t speak a word.
I lay silent as the world went about
They then came for my state
It wasn’t my city
So I didn’t speak a word
They then came for my city
It was my home they burnt to the ground
Suddenly,
When I thought to speak a word,
There was no one left to hear them aloud.
