So much pain, oh yeah
This is for my strugglers
Hear me crying in the rain
I need your help, come help me now
There's so much pain
Wasted, hungry, and so much to give
And all we need is a chance to live
And just be free
For we are the victims of this political war
We do not want our children to suffer more
In a world where only a few would rule
No equal opportunity for the majority
Unite now, unite now
We got to unite now, unite now
Unemployed, Im tired of being pushed around
By my family, by society,
But whos to blame?
Open you eyes and try to see the reality
That you can feel the way we feel
And it will open your eyes
For we are the victims of this political war
We do not want our children to suffer more
In a world where only a few can rule
No equal opportunity for majority
Unite now, unite now
We got to unite now, unite now
Attracted by the city lights many come to see
But there's nothing more than the country life
When there was so much joy
In the city you have to give a lot to live
Youll have to steal cause there's no world go round
There's so much pain
For we are the victims of this political war
We do not want our children to suffer more
In a world where only a few would rule
No equal opportunity for my family
We got to unite now, unite now (my Polynesian people)
Unite now (my Melanesian people) unite now (Micronesian people)
