I see the grass bowing down
The air has cleared
The smoke of 20 years has gone
Eyes that were blind can now see again
The tricks of the lying hyena
The web of deceit spun by the spider
Everything is made clear
The trees are shaking
The shadows do not want to be relieved
They are scared
Shouting for everyone not to look
Turn away from Somalia
Go away
Afraid that the world will see the blue diamond under the ashes
But the wind is picking up
The ashes are falling away
It is happening
Don't you know that it is Impossible to stop the wind
So shake with fear
Cry a tear or two
But you can't stop it
Lady Somalia has woken up
She needs help to stand
Until she finds her strength once more
You can't stop the wind
