When the cock crows
We shall see the light
Our faces shall beam with joy
Our hearts shall be peaceful
We shall sing to our God
We shall do a special dance
We shall make merry
Why do you laugh?
Why do you dance?
They asked.
What made you so joyful
Is it different from others
From what others experienced?
We laughed and replied
Yes it is…
The forgotten as been remembered
The disappointed as been compensated
We have been crowned with joy
Our days of sadness are over
Our enemies who mocked us have been silenced
They now look at us–amazed
Who would have thought
A seed can become a forest?
Our seed is now a thick forest
Filled with all good fruits
Blessing the sons of men.
The day is here for us.
