tunaomba saidia - the basics lyrics

Loading...

she cannot remember the day she left uganda
and if you had asked her, her eyes would drift right past her
from her home she’d come so far

she had hope within her heart

her brother, he’d been taken
and a soldier they had made him
and when they protested, her father he was arrested
in that land you have no choice
in that land you have no voice

and he said
“wapi kuchukuliwa yetu? sisi kitu kibaya?”
is it too much to wish for a life that could be peaceful?
tunaomba saidia

so they told him they would k!ll him
if he did not do what they tell him
and his family in danger put their lives in the hands of a stranger
in a boat that traveled far
heading for australia

they were picked up by the navy
out where the ocean is wavy
to an island were directed
where they were separated
like a prisoner of war
like a common criminal

and they say
“wapi kuchukuliwa yetu? sisi kitu kibaya?”
is it too much to wish for a life that could be peaceful?
tunaomba saidia

how was this better than their homeland?
and why did no one seem to care?
so full of problems, full of violence
there was so many people there

like this one time, she was taken
by a guard who stripped her naked
and when she protested
her father, he was arrested
in this place you have no choice
in this place you have no voice

and she said
“wapi kuchukuliwa yetu? sisi kitu kibaya?”
is it too much to wish for a life that could be peaceful?
tunaomba saidia

for a year now they’d been waiting
in their hearts they’d been hoping, praying
for a chance to be together
and escape this life of torture
and hear the words they’d travelled far to hear
welcome to australia

and we say
“wapi kuchukuliwa yetu? sisi kitu kibaya?”
is it too much to wish for a life that could be peaceful?
tunaomba saidia
tunaomba saidia
