Let me take you on a journey with pride
Which I have not undertaken before
Let’s sit by the fireside
Until the early hours of the morning, let’s agree on four
Sit down and relax
Lean back and reflect
Have you been into this situation
You closed your eyes and reached a destination
Called home
Not being on your own
Not ready to depart
Your heart
Have you been into this situation
You closed your eyes and felt liberation
Called freedom
Living the early morning
Watching the soft glow
Breaking dawn, very slow
Have you been into this situation
You closed your eyes followed by a sincere smile with fascination
Called momentary happiness
You see one nation, landscape being endless
One people smiling, greeting with Peace
One language, trading like brothers with ease
One culture, praying five times a day
One faith, ancient proverbs showing me the way
Son and daughter of the path
It’s not hardship what made them laugh
Rhetoric made pleasant with narrations of the past
You can’t deny the beauty of modesty at last
He is nomadic
Life educated him to an academic
She is an epic poet
Her beauty expressed in words never came to an end
Have you been into this situation
You closed your eyes and felt a sensation
From the south to the north, from the east to the west a celebration
The Horn of Africa comes back to life as one nation
Have you been into this situation
