Tina singu leluvutaeo,
Watsha.
We are the flame; The burning fire!
Watch us grow.
A tiny ember flares a loft into the night
Its shining brilliance a gleam of hope for future light.
The reigning darkness awaits intent it should expire
Who will embrace the flame and build a blazing fire?
It takes a village to raise a child.
Are we the forests, are we the mountains, are we the seas?
Can true commitment entwine for us to learn from these?
Have we a left hand, have we a right to hold the flame?
Your hand in my hand are strong enough to do the same!
It takes a village to raise a child.
