Tunaomba Saidia
She cannot remember the day she left Uganda And if you had asked her, her eyes would drift right past ya From her home she'd come so far But she had hoping in her heart
Her brother, he'd been taken, and a soldier they had made him And when they protested, the father, he was arrested In this land you have no choice In this land you have no voice
And he say, Wamechukua me wapi? Tuna kitu kibaya? Is it too much to wish for, a life that could be peaceful? Tunaomba Saidia
So they told him they would kill him if they did not do what they tell him And his family, in danger, put their lives in the hands of a stranger In a boat, they traveled far Heading for Australia
They were picked up by the navy, out where the ocean is wavy To an island were directed, where they were separated Like a prisoner of war Like a common criminal
And they say Wamechukua me wapi? Tuna kitu kibaya? Is it too much to wish for, a life that could be peaceful? Tunaomba Saidia Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com
How was this better than their homeland? And why did no-one seem to care? So full of problems, full of violence There were so many people there
Like this one time, she was taken by the guard, they stripped her naked And when she protested, the father, he was arrested In this place you have no choice In this place you have no voice
And she say Wamechukua me wapi? Tuna kitu kibaya? Is it too much to wish for, a life that could be peaceful? Tunaomba Saidia
For a year now, they've been waiting, in their hearts, they're hoping, praying For a chance to be together, and escape this life of torture And hear the words they'd come so far to hear 'Welcome to Australia'
And we say Wamechukua me wapi? Tuna kitu kibaya? Is it too much to wish for, a life that could be peaceful? Tunaomba Saidia Tunaomba Saidia
