Let's Join Hands

My life has gone
No urge to fight
They've taken captive all my might
The fight continues
Day by day
If only we didn't have to live
The white mans way
The hurt and hatred
They've done to us
To give us drinks
To make fun of us
To take our land
To make big plans
To destroy what we once loved
They took the kids
Made them white
Now they don't know
The black mans rights
If only we could join hands
With those white man
It would be a better land
"So let's join hands"
