When you turn to the right
Looking for love, it's not there
Then you look to the left, up and down
Seeking for hope, it's not there
And everything is upside down, it seems like the end
But even one good soul, is a blessing to this land
Stand firm!

When you turn to the old
Looking for wisdom, it's not there
Then, you turn to the youth on the street
Seeking for strength, it's not there
And everything is upside down, it seems like the end
But even one good person is a blessing to this land

When you turn to the holy men
Looking for truth, it's not there
Then, you turn to the mothers
Seeking for justice, it's not there
And everything is upside down, it seems like the end
But even one good soul is a blessing to this land
Stand firm!
