I have an obligation
To help my torn nation
Through moments of severe frustration
Throughout the entire duration

Through humanitarian aid and donation
Helping people who have been affected by migration
Those who are learning new languages lost in translation
Those who are adapting to new situations
While their country is undergoing reformation

I have an obligation
To help my torn nation
Through struggles and adaptations
To save them from salvation

I have a responsibility
To establish a climate of decency and civility
To the best of my ability
And show empathy and relatability

It is my civic obligation and duty
To respect the rights of all, but truly
It is my duty to assist people of all walks of life, trying
To fight and advocate for those being silenced
