Ancestors Are Calling

Amid all silence,
We hear our ancestors calling ...
They appear like a thief on a night
As they stop and steer,
(Ancestors are calling)
Wait until you are entirely alone.
They began to whisper in your ear
( ancestors are calling )
Although you can not see them,
(Ancestors are calling)
They march one by one,
Like the beating of steel band drums.
We could hear them,
But You certainly don’t be afraid of them

They want our people to unite.
They want us to fight the good fight
(Ancestors are calling)
Oh, child
( Ancestors are Calling)
They want us to go back to old traditions
Pass them on to our children.
Tell the unpublished
Stories,
Which was blemished out
From history textbooks,
On how the enemy has done wrong
To Our native sons and daughters
( Ancestors are calling)
We should never doubt what we hear
Listen to the drummer's beat
As the drum hums to our hearts
Trickle-down towards
Our ancestors’ feet
Our ancestors sing
With heads up high
As we reach the sky
As reflection as
The marking of our ancestors’ death
Rebirth,
Immortality as their silence
Become a multitude of whispers.
( Ancestors are calling )
It is time for us to listen
(Ancestors are calling)
We shall mourn our ancestors’ mortal
Lives and sacrifices
Our Ancestors shall never be forgotten.
( Ancestors are calling)
