DShe cannot Aremember Gthe day she left Uganda
DAnd if you Ahad asked her, Bmher eyes would Gdrift right past ya
DFrom her Ahome she'd come so Gfar
DBut she had Ahoping in her Dheart
DHer brother, Ahe'd been taken, Gand a soldier they had made him
DAnd when they Aprotested, Bmthe father, Ghe was arrested
DIn this Aland you have no Gchoice 
DIn this Aland you have no Dvoice  (And he say)
GWamechukua Dme wapi? GTuna kitu kiAbaya? 
DIs it too much Ato wish for, Ga life that could be peaceful? 
DTunaAomba SaiDdia
DSo they told him Athey would kill him Gif they did not do what they tell him
DAnd his family, Ain danger, Bmput their lives in the Ghands of a stranger 
DIn a Aboat, they traveled Gfar
DHeading foAr AustralDia 
DThey were picked up Aby the navy, Gout where the ocean is wavy
DTo an island Awere directed, Bmwhere they were Gseparated
DLike a Aprisoner of Gwar 
DLike a Acommon crimiDnal (And they say)
GWamechukua Dme wapi? GTuna kitu kiAbaya? 
DIs it too much Ato wish for, Ga life that could be peaceful? 
DTunaAomba SaiDdia
F#How was this better than their hBmomeland? 
F#And why did no-one seem to Bmcare?
F#So full of problems, full of Bmviolence

DLike this one time, Ashe was taken Gby the guard, they stripped her naked
DAnd when he Aprotested, Bmher father, Ghe was arrested 
DIn this Aplace you have no cGhoice
DIn this Aplace you have no vDoice  (And she say)
