Dance of Freedom
Some people sit and wait for tomorrow;
Praying that their lives shall somehow
erratically change
May we all rejoice together
and strive for the betterment of our people's;
In hopes, we'll be a guide for the followers
In the muddy banks we string up our baits,
To draw in whatever lurks in the watery deeps
To fill our barren lands with
Its inhabitants
We shall forever hunt its swamps
and defeat the serpent that lies within it
I shall unveil its ghostly spirit
And expose it tiger like teeth to my peoples
I pray that Goliath shall no longer
Taunt my fellow men
We shall raise our chin to the skies
And dance wildly
to the vibrations of our earthly fear…
Goliath's brute reputation echoes
Throughout our lands, yet we all shall feast
Upon him in joyful tear
In the end of this battle and blow,
We will all gather around our Gods table
bringing songs and dances of freedom
I say woe to the Goliath Tiger Fish
For I shall eat your treacherous heart
And drenched myself within your evil spirit
I'll feel redeemed
I'll feel free
