As they sway in with their voices
Of change, with promises of difference
Nowhere to be seen, the architects

Celebrate we will, our poverty and hunger
As we roll these flags, across our chests
Long live Pakistan, long live our nation
Only hope, only hope and just the prayers
Where voices are heard, in its echoes
Where promises […]
