I want to rise

Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Yea!.......... Mmmmmmmmmm

I keep waking up hoping

That today be a new day

The day my people have longed for

Long live Bougainville

For independence

I want to lead myself

Govern myself

Be given the chance

To be the best I can

My dear Melanesian brother

Please let me go

Let me learn to grow on my own

You have killed me

Destroyed me

Belittled me

Even disowned me.

10 years on my own

I think I'm ready

To make it infinity

My Melanesian brother...........

You gotta let me go.

Let me learn to grow on my own

Rap:

Yes I'm black

Curly haired

Strong willed

Individual

Mostly soft but loud when I'm political

...........................................

This ain't goodbye

Give me the chance to rise

In return to help you rise.

Partners economically

Socially

Politically
