We used to be far, far away
We used to be sitting in fear
We used to be not in active gear
We used to be running painful tears
We used to have ears that can’t hear
We used to be standing in the dark
We used to dangle amongst sharks
We used to make travel in the night
We used to be very feeble and can’t fight
We used to be like dwarfs with no heights
We used to be seeking way & could get none
We used to be toothless & couldn’t break bone
We used to trust fools with our political throne
We used to look down upon our own flowers
We used to look down upon our own powers
We used to neglect our own economic hours
But gradually, gradually we’re getting there!!
We’re getting there enduring associated pains
We’re getting there looking at associated gains
We’re getting there; our efforts won’t go in vain
We’re getting there by and through God’s grace
We’re getting there & leading the running race
We’re getting there seeing of light in our place
We’ll praise the lord when we finally get there!!
