Why Don't You Speak for the Oromo?

[Verse]
Echoes in the valley rise
The river asks why you hide your cries
Feet pound the earth
A steady beat
But your voice retreats like the wind's defeat

[Chorus]
Why don’t you speak for the Oromo
Tell me why
Tell me why
Oh no
The drum calls loud
The heart says go
Why don’t you speak for the Oromo

[Verse 2]
Mountains whisper ancient tales
But your silence builds unseen jails
The stars look down
They want to know
Why you don't let your courage show

[Prechorus]
The ground remembers
The skies still weep
Will you wake or will you sleep

[Chorus]
Why don’t you speak for the Oromo
Tell me why
Tell me why
Oh no
The drum calls loud
The heart says go
Why don’t you speak for the Oromo

[Bridge]
A seed can't grow if it's never sown
A truth untold turns hearts to stone
The future waits
The past won't let go
Why don’t you speak for the Oromo
