Candle of Hope

 In the darkness of great forest
Lies my price and honour
In the pool of blood
Dwell my most beautiful dreams  

Through the thorny forest
My path wanders to wilderness
Among the cries of agony
Is the rose of my soul  

O! See my beloved brothers
See through the forest of ignorance
The forest of torture and oppression
Of the black man in peril  

O! Come see mankind
Of this abuse and insult
Of humanity and integrity  

O! Come blind world
Come blacks and whites
Come all bodies and souls
Come angles from the heaven
And see the abuse of mankind  

But he who dies lives
Though in the shadow of death
The candle of hope glows strong
