Motherland Songtext
von Beres Hammond

My story, sad story now
Still waiting for the truth to be told now
It won′t be long now, won't be long

Heard the news
Heard your rivers all run dry
And on TV I see missiles in your sky
Word is out, loud whispering going on
Oh angels turned mercenaries coming ten thousand strong

Oh obeng Uhuru motherland yea
Oh obeng Uhuru black and white sand
Oh obeng Uhuru motherland
Oh obeng Uhuru black and white sand

Motherland I know you love your family
Break the chains and set yourself free, yea
Sound the drums, bring the children to the fold
The grand reunion, the war is getting cold


Oh obeng Uhuru motherland, yea
Oh obeng Uhuru black and white sand
Oh obeng Uhuru motherland
Oh obeng Uhuru black and white sand

My story, sad story now
Still waiting for the truth
Your story now
I know it won′t be long
Won't be long, won't be long
Now it won′t be long now

I see children wearing bellies in their backs
Where did the train slip off the tracks
I wanna know now
Sign reads ′help' promoted throughout the world
With the picture of a little boy a little girl, oh na na na na
Blood is red fits different shades of color
I wanna know who is in my corner
Oh, I wanna know now

Oh obeng Uhuru motherland, yea
Oh obeng Uhuru black and white sand
Oh obeng Uhuru motherland
Oh obeng Uhuru black and white sand


My story, sad story now
Still waiting for the truth
Your story make me worry now

Heard the news, heard the rivers all run dry
And on TV I see missiles in your sky
Word is out, loud whispering going on
Oh angels turned mercenaries coming ten thousand strong

Oh obeng Uhuru motherland
Oh obeng Uhuru black and white sand
Oh obeng Uhuru motherland
Oh obeng Uhuru
