If The Dead Could Talk

If the dead could talk 
They’ll ask what did we do wrong? 
You could make bombs 
All I wanted was to go to work 

If the dead could talk 
They’ll ask did we disturb your cause? 
You could make bombs 
While I wanted was to serve my God 

If the dead could talk 
They’ll ask we are no bodies so why us 
Life in Nigeria is hard enough 
But u robbed us our education, transportation,
religion, national duty n mostly our very living

If the dead could talk 
They’ll ask is ur problem the government or us?
Deal with their wrongs if u must 
But no you chose us the innocent ones

If the dead could talk 
They’ll ask so u think u won?
You could destroy us
no worries for the tables would surely turn
If the dead could talk 
They’ll  say the blood of Abel cried to God 
How much more that of thousands of us? 
You took us from loved ones by force 
Just watch! Our God never loses a war
