Oya,
hear
my
voice
today
This
one
na
for
the
forgotten
son
Isa
Umar,
we
never
forget
you
Listen
to
the
truth,
yeah
Since
twenty-fourteen,
the
lights
done
dim
Twenty-sixth
of
November,
they
came
for
him
From
Zaria
streets,
taken
away
so
cold
A
story
of
pain
that
needs
to
be
told
By
the
DSS,
then
moved
to
the
dark
Kainji
detention,
they
left
such
a
mark
Twelve
years
of
silence,
twelve
years
of
tears
Counting
the
seasons
and
all
of
the
fears
Free
Isa
Umar,
let
my
brother
go
home
From
Samaru
to
the
world,
he
is
not
alone
Government,
hear
us,
restore
his
rights
Twelve
years
of
struggle,
twelve
years
of
nights
We
crying
for
justice,
we
calling
for
peace
Release
him
today,
let
the
suffering
cease
Fundamental
rights,
buried
under
the
sand
Freedom
of
movement,
taken
from
his
hand
From
two-thousand-nineteen,
behind
military
wall
They
keep
him
locked
up,
refusing
his
call
He
is
a
human,
he
got
a
soul
and
a
name
Playing
with
lives
is
a
terrible
game
We
stand
for
the
truth,
we
stand
for
the
light
We
praying
for
morning
to
end
this
long
night
Free
Isa
Umar,
let
my
brother
go
home
From
Samaru
to
the
world,
he
is
not
alone
Government,
hear
us,
restore
his
rights
Twelve
years
of
struggle,
twelve
years
of
nights
We
crying
for
justice,
we
calling
for
peace
Release
him
today,
let
the
suffering
cease
Can
you
feel
the
weight
of
a
decade
gone
by?
Justice
delayed
is
a
heavy,
heavy
cry
Authorities
hear
us,
open
up
the
gate
Twelve
years
is
enough,
it’
s
not
yet
too
late
We
rise
for
the
brother,
we
rise
for
the
truth
They
stole
all
the
years
and
the
strength
of
his
youth
Free
Isa
Umar,
let
my
brother
go
home
From
Samaru
to
the
world,
he
is
not
alone
Government,
hear
us,
restore
his
rights
Twelve
years
of
struggle,
twelve
years
of
nights
We
crying
for
justice,
we
calling
for
peace
Release
him
today,
let
the
suffering
cease
Isa
Umar,
we
calling
your
name
No
dulling,
we
won't
stay
the
same
Free
him
now,
let
him
see
the
sun
Justice
for
Isa,
until
it
is
done
Yeah,
we
waitin'
Freedom
for
Isa,
today.
