lyrics

Fattish
(A. Kheir/ I. Macleod)

Search for the day
Search for the way

There is no option but peace
There is no substitute for equity
We must wake up
Our sleep has been long
Our sleep has been so long

Because we are tired of the lies
Because we no longer want death
For how long will they
kill our possibility?
For how long will they
kill our possibility?

If you can, search for the day
If you can, search for the way

Search for the day
Search for the day

There is no option but peace
There is no substitute for equity
We must wake up
Our sleep has been long
Our sleep has been so long

Because we are tired of the lies
Because we no longer want death
For how long will they
kill our possibility?
For how long will they
kill our possibility?

We cannot forever endure injustice
We must awaken into emancipation
