D A G
She cannot remember the day she left Uganda
D A Bm G
And if you had asked her, her eyes would drift right past ya
D A G
From her home she'd come so far
D A D
But she had hoping in her heart
D A G
Her brother, he'd been taken, and a soldier they had made him
D A Bm G
And when they protested, the father, he was arrested
D A G
In this land you have no choice
D A D
In this land you have no voice (And he say)
G D G A
Wamechukua me wapi? Tuna kitu kibaya?
D A G
Is it too much to wish for, a life that could be peaceful?
D A D
Tunaomba Saidia
D A G
So they told him they would kill him if they did not do what they tell him
D A Bm G
And his family, in danger, put their lives in the hands of a stranger
D A G
In a boat, they traveled far
D A D
Heading for Australia
D A G
They were picked up by the navy, out where the ocean is wavy
D A Bm G
To an island were directed, where they were separated
D A G
Like a prisoner of war
D A D
Like a common criminal (And they say)
G D G A
Wamechukua me wapi? Tuna kitu kibaya?

How was this better than their homeland?
F# Bm
And why did no-one seem to care?
F# Bm
So full of problems, full of violence
F# G
There were so many people there
D A G
Like this one time, she was taken by the guard, they stripped her naked
D A Bm G
And when he protested, her father, he was arrested
D A G
In this place you have no choice
D A D
In this place you have no voice (And she say)
G D G A
Wamechukua me wapi? Tuna kitu kibaya?

Tunaomba Saidia
D A G
For a year now, they've been waiting, in their hearts, they're hoping, praying
D A Bm G
For a chance to be together, and escape this life of torture
D A G
And hear the words they'd come so far (to hear)
D A D
'Welcome to Australia' (And we say)
G D G A
Wamechukua me wapi? Tuna kitu kibaya?
