When you turn to the right

Looking for love, it's not there

Then you look to the left, up and down

Seeking for hope, it's not there

And everything is upside down, it seems like the end

But even one good soul, is a blessing to this land

Stand firm!

When you turn to the old

Looking for wisdom, it's not there

Then, you turn to the youth on the street

Seeking for strength, it's not there

And everything is upside down, it seems like the end

But even one good person is a blessing to this land

Stand firm!

When you turn to the holy men

Looking for truth, it's not there

Then, you turn to the mothers

Seeking for justice, it's not there

And everything is upside down, it seems like the end

But even one good soul is a blessing to this land

Stand firm!
