FLUTE

AMUSA YUSUF 1971 (Takoradi)



FLUTE
Let's tell our leaders
The nation is not moving forward

Let's tell our leaders
Yesterday promises are not fulfilled

Let's tell our leaders
They have lost focus

Let's tell our leaders
Every sector is at standstill

Let's tell our leaders
People are tired of lies as well as false promises

Let's tell our leaders
They lack ability to lead

Let's tell our leaders
The nation is bleeding

Let's tell our leaders
Comity of nations have turned our nation to a laughing stock

Let's tell our leaders
Shedding blood has become common currency

Let's tell our leaders
This pilot can not take us to the promised land.
