We are in the midst of tyranny
In the captivity of inaction
Bound by the chains of corruption
Our so called leaders, deep in their infatuation!
In the depth of one's imagination
And in the ruins of his own passion
There lies the sense of despair
A cloud of hesitations, apprehension, and accusations
In the heat of the night
And the loneliness of darkness
Where a man clings to desperation
Where tears fall out of frustration!
There stands hope!
A hope that a time will come
A moment will rise
Where the pain and anguish will be gone
The fear and worry all but forgotten!
Yes! supported by courage
Carried by the mighty arms of hope!
One should never quit nor surrender!
Allow not fear to rule supreme!
No words or deeds
Should squander your tomorrow,
Don't bow to concede
Even when the course is too narrow
Stand strong, Stand ready
Stand for long, and steady
Don't give an inch to the enemy
For your own sake and ours
The fight for our destiny is here
The battle for our tomorrow has come!
We bring the ideology of hope
In the midst of tyranny of corruption
For we are fighting for our tomorrow
Ours, and that of our posterity
Stand and be counted
Or sit down and be discounted!
We are Tanzanians!
We are here,
We are determined
We are strong
And we are ready!
We will not bow to tyranny
We will not open our gates to those who humiliate us
A table shall not be prepared to corruption
And blow by blow we will answer them!
Until hope is realised
Prosperity is seen
Until every one takes a stand
A stand to take action!
Failure is not an option
In the tyranny of corruption!
