If Our Children

If our children aren’t smiling
Laughing, playing, driving us insane
Than something must be wrong in our doing
These days, they’re scared and
Have multiple nightmares that are unspeakable
As they go to sleep, they yearn so much
For freedom that they sing it in their dreams
They’ve taken full vacation from
Their childhood just so they can fight
For their freedom, their country
If our children aren’t happy
Than, there must be something wrong
They can’t even go outside to play
Everyday has become a struggle
They must even fight to stay alive
Our children are not well, my family
My brother, my sister, my friends
Our children are not well
Therefore our nation is sick
Because our children are not well.

And masquerade will be the only promotion

Education is a crucial point in life to maintain balance
Getting a real job without it would be like a pending chance

Deviz nou, aprè san zanzèt nou ki te koule
Se pou n monte pi wo, pi wo, pi wo
Paske bagay yo pa ka rete konsa fòk sa chanje

Alòs mesaj Ayiti voye pou nou aswè se:
“An nou tout klere”.
