Corruption

🎵 “Stand Up, Solomon Islands” 🎵

Verse 1

In the islands of the rising sun,

Where the blue seas and green hills run,

Voices whisper in the night,

Something here is not quite right.

Money meant for schools and roads,

Lost somewhere the river flows,

Promises we heard before,

Still the poor are feeling sore.

Pre-Chorus

Oh leaders hear the people cry,

Truth is stronger than a lie,

We deserve a future bright,

Built on justice, built on right.

Chorus

Stand up, Solomon Islands, stand tall,

Justice and honesty for all,

No more secrets in the dark,

Let integrity light the spark.

Stand up, Solomon Islands, be strong,

Right the past and fix the wrong,

Together we can make it right,

Bring corruption into the light.

Verse 2

Funds for clinics disappear,

Youth are left with doubt and fear,

Opportunities grow thin,

When greed and power always win.

But the people see and know,

Truth like seeds will always grow,

From the villages to town,

We won’t let our future drown.

Pre-Chorus

Transparency must lead the way,

Accountability today,

Good governance we must demand,

For every child across the land.

Chorus

Stand up, Solomon Islands, stand tall,

Justice and honesty for all,

No more secrets in the dark,

Let integrity light the spark.

Stand up, Solomon Islands, unite,

Choose the path of what is right,

Together we will change the tide,

With truth and hope as our guide.

Bridge

Not by anger, not by hate,

But by courage to create,

A nation proud, a nation fair,

Where leaders serve with honest care.

Final Chorus (Stronger)

Stand up, Solomon Islands, rise,

With open hearts and open eyes,

The future’s calling, hear the sound,

Let clean hands lead this ground!
