Eritrea’s Destiny to be the Nation of First

Eritrea’s Destiny to be the Nation of First


On the first of September

On a day that all Eritreans remember

The heart and soul of a nation was born

On a nation torn

Unwittingly and unwillingly taken

Destined to be forgotten, forsaken



It was an open daylight robbery

Unjust, unlawful legal mockery



Yet, the seed of a nation came to life

With one man, first man to raise arms, a knife    

To free a nation, the first free nation not-handed freedom



First nation to fight for freedom, believing on self, self-reliance

First to achieve freedom in defiance

With a motto of self-reliance

Forced the world to accept

The Eritrean concept

That they have a hard time to accept

Yet, forced to accept over and again

In pain, with disdain



As the fierceness takes on Tour De-France, the first

As the child born in defiance defies the odds in China, a first

More glories, more first and glitter wait

In a land full of gold

And, hearts of gold

The heart of the brave



Where every day and every achievement is the first

Testament to the faith and strength of the resilient

Testament to the will, sacrifices and commitment

Testament of the unbreakable bond, one heart

True expression of one people one heart, a first
