Sokotuk ("Cry/Plea")

Title: Sokotuk (The Cry)

Intro:

Soft instrumental build-up with gentle acoustic guitar and piano in the background.

(Whispered, soulful):

Oh, the cry of the heart,

A call for unity.

Chorus:

Sokotuk ani inatus,

Tara tung kuvul si alatun ani,

Vo-lava sikana dua-l na aiveven,

Ko kovek i mansikei val nia,

Sikina palau tara po teng a-toh

Verse 1:

Let’s rise as one, hand in hand,

We can make this world a better land,

We’ve been given strength, power, and grace,

To move mountains, to make this place,

A home of love, peace, and light,

Where every soul shines bright,

So don’t stand alone, let’s unite,

Together we’ll take flight.

Chorus:

Sokotuk ani inatus,

Tara tung kuvul si alatun ani,

Vo-lava sikana dua-l na aiveven,

Ko kovek i mansikei val nia,

Sikina palau tara po teng a-toh

Verse 2:

Through every trial, we stand tall,

Through every challenge, we won’t fall,

We’re here to rise, to build and grow,

With God’s love, we’ll overflow,

In gratitude, we humbly pray,

For His blessings every day,

With each breath, we give Him praise,

For His goodness in our ways.

Bridge:

Sokotuk, a cry to the people,

It’s time to rise, to be equal,

Together we’ll fight, together we’ll stand,

For a brighter tomorrow, hand in hand.
