they forget the basic foundation

We fought for our independence
In unity in the eyes of the British Government
With it the Colonial government gave in
Independence for the people's right to rule

The races united for the common goal
The independence of a free country
Living harmoniously with all the races
No race should feel obligated for a noble cause

The basic foundation laid
For the young nation to grow
The Alliance made it worthwhile
For the parties of race to unite

During those times
Every one never thought about race
They were there as one nation
Feeling proud to get the independence

The dark night of May
Events changed policies shifted
The unity seemed lost
The ugly face of race

In the decades gone
The lies and deceits abound
Corruptions gone into the administration
Eating the souls of the nation

No race should command
The gratitude from the others
We are bonded to this nation
Where we work for her glory

The old fashioned frog
What does he know?
The events have changed
He is still living in his shell

They are many like him
Afraid to change living in unity
They believe in divide and rule
The caste system dancing in their minds
