Collectively, we bear the pain
Where people have to suffer
Pains of ignorance.
They lose their rights to freedom
Before they find solutions.
Collectively, we bear the pain.
There remains an underclass
That groans in pain.
Their fellows unjustly find their way to freedom
And turn into a serious problem
Wrap themselves in influence and power
That birth dirty riches and wealth.
Collectively, we bear the pain,
Where injustice and suffering
Is exchanged for truth
And men sleep under bridges
With stones as pillows
And cartons as beds
His fellows who claimed to be exalted
Pass by and smile
With arrogant speeches.
Collectively, we bear the pain,
Where you sit on bare floors
You beg before you eat and drink
You stand and talk like them
You are condemned and rejected.
Collectively, we bear the pain.
From time past until now
There remains an under-class
That groans and struggles through life alone
Suffering as if you must ATONE.
