While I was praying

While I was praying,
Soldiers slayed in rifles and knifes,
Took the girls And killed our men
We were led astray,
Away From home
Away From bright futures

We became slaves,
Slaves to blood and bones,
Freedom whispered in sores
We were lost
In the hands of wicked, We were
In the place of nowhere,

We were praying, hoping, living,
Wallowed in faith
To be out from their sight and might,
We became the light
Reaching out to home,
Reaching out to greatness.
