When you let another write your history,
You let them tell your story,
You let them shape your future,
You let them form your culture,
Through a history maimed, dislocated, and caricatured,
Many a people have been left confused, belligerent and fractured,
Tied to the lies of an untrue past,
Unable to make their progress last,
So take your history back,
Fill the historical knowledge lack,
Own it and take its lessons very seriously,
Before who you really are disappears mysteriously,
For true history brings us invaluable lessons from the past,
Today you have a chance to determine how the history of today will read,
Wake up and lead!
