Hang in there my soul, you ain’t lost nothing,
We’re in it together, to fight it together,
It’s a virus that afflicts hearts; use no guns,
Unleash your words on the racist hounds,
Hang in there ol’ boy, you ain’t healed nothing,
Until you nursed the wounds, wiped the tears.
It’s a cancer that kills harmony; use no scalpel,
Wield your integrity against the hate mongers
Hang in there ol’ boy, you ain’t learned nothing,
Until children of ghettos went to classrooms,
It’s a plague that knows no borders; use no rods,
Light candle of knowledge to ward off darkness.
Hang in there ol’ boy, you ain’t earned nothing,
Until kids slaving in mines filled their tummies.
It’s a curse that hurts conscience; close no eyes,
Open your pocket to break shackles of shame.
Hang in there ol’ boy, you ain’t won nothing,
Until women toiling in filth got their fare share.
It’s a sin that shames manhood; break no sweat,
Open your heart to pull the plug on patriarchy.
Hang in there ol’ boy, you ain’t penned nothing,
Until you tell the agonies of orphans of wars.
It’s a crime against humanity; shed no tears,
Fire your thoughts to stop the rain of bombs.
Hang in there ol’ boy, you ain’t seen no miseries,
Until you heard the wails of a million Uighurs,
It’s oppression in the first degree; wage no jihad,
Raise your voice to amplify cries from the gulags.
Hang in there ol’ boy, you ain’t conquered nothing,
Until you watched a dawn from the precipice.
Let the Armageddon come, fear not sailor,
Words are your Argo; row, row, row your boat.
