Once upon a time

I was and wasn't young

Because of my birth time

And my birth kingdom

 

I'm from a people

With pride of its race

With a destiny

To conquer obstacles faced

 

I come from a nation

That strived closed to the Lord

And with courage

Determined to push forward

 

My roots are from

One of the first civilizations

Who with hope and patience

Found realization

 

Though I am alive

Before me many have died

Reaching for equality

In justice to abide

 

I am not bound

By the limits of a nation

For God gave to all

The world as foundation

 

My voice to some is still

To others a thunder

It can't be silenced

In the presence of plunder

 

A leader to the world

I am part of

I will fill it

With humanity love

 

Though one day I'll die

'Cause I'm of the family of man

Still my spirit will soar

And help others to stand
