to flow like the shabelle river

brothers, sisters

stay strong, 

don't be made to feel wrong

don't be made to feel you don't belong

here. for this world it's all of ours and

you can't let the fear
tell you any different
brothers and sisters
we must remain
-steadfast-/ please refrain 

from changing, who you are

trust me, it will get better

so don't even sweat it

just let it

just let life take it's course

and like the shabelle river

we must continue to flow

we must continue to deliver

we must continue to go

about living our lives
the way we know how

the way we were taught
by our prophets, by our teachers
by our Lord

-with dignity and patience and strength-
