338.  " YOU GAVE THEM A VOICE," 3/4,
LYRICS/MELODY BY LOLO BOMBOY, MAR. 23, 2013
-
And so you were told
There's no begging here
No kneeling could change
The rules that are clear
If you do not pay
The fees that are due
Then sorry to say
There's no room for you
-
Then they took away
The thing you didn't need
Your own school ID
A treasure you held
They said go on leave
Don't come back until
You've paid all your fees
This drove you to tears
-
How heartless they were
To this poor young girl
They showed no concern
For how she would feel
What mattered to them
Were fees that she owed
So they shut the door
As fast as they could
-
And so here we are
Now mourning for you
Wherever you are
We'll be missing you
You stood for the poor
Whose cries are not heard
You gave them a voice
With courage you dared
-
You gave them a voice
With courage you dared
