[Verse 1]
In the hospital hallway, a mother’s in tears,
Holding her baby, fighting through fear.
The shelves are empty, the medicine’s gone,
Another long night, another sad song.
Doctors working with nothing to give,
Praying somehow the child will live.
But downtown suits in air-conditioned rooms
Politicians raising their glasses while hope fades too soon.
[Pre-Chorus]
They talk about progress, they talk about plans,
But money keeps slipping right through their hands.
Gold in the mountains, oil in the sea,
Tell me why the people still can’t be free?
[Chorus]
While the people cry, they’re flying overseas,
First class tickets and luxury suites.
The hospital’s breaking at the seams,
Oh Papua New Guinea, can’t you see?
[Verse 2]
From the Highlands down to the coast,
It’s the struggling families who need relief the most.
Hard days stacked like stones on every door,
And mothers whisper prayers for shelter from the storm.
Small jobs vanish, prices rise like the tide,
Yet unity carries us, side by side.
[Pre-Chorus]
They preach about growth, while pockets stay empty,
Promises fall short, like sails in a lull.
Greed in the hills, the oil in the sea,
People ask again, when will we be free?
[Chorus]
We raise our voices, demand what’s due to keep,
Heal the streets and give the weak some relief.
Corruption and greed taking control,
But the people won’t tire, we’ll reach our goal.
[Bridge]
Let drums rise up from the valleys to the shore,
Hands joined in rhythm, hearts aching for more.
If we stand together, we break every chain,
Sing out the truth till justice remains.
[Chorus]
Raise your voice, let the truth be seen,
Heal the land and set the people free.
No more greed, no more pain,
Together we rise, united again.
[Outro]
Hope is a lighthouse in the storm we share,
Together we’ll mend what’s broken, here and there.
