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

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

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

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

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

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
