Tamba

Your name is Tamba, the bush is your home

You don't have no money, no food, no family, no home

The rebels have killed your mommy and daddy

The government, you still say is your worst enemy

Hello?

Tamba is dying

Get up

Do you hear him crying?

Hello?

See, I would be lying

If I said that everything would be alright

We see your face on the television

Your big wide eyes and your hopeless condition

Afraid because your country is in tension

And all these politicians make war but no solutions

Hello?

Tamba is dying

Get up

Do you hear him crying?

Hello!

See, I would be lying

If I said that everything would be alright

All the kid soldiers in Liberia

I send you love, may you walk tall

All the kid soldiers all over Africa

I give you strength and my confidence

All the kid soldiers in Uganda

May you be free for eternity

All the kid soldiers

No kid soldiers

Hello?

Tamba is dying

Get up!

Do you hear him crying?

Hello!

See, I would be lying

If I said that everything would be alright

(Sing along, you'll walk tall)
