People trying
People try to keep us
They will try to keep us down
We must try
Not to take it
Not to take it lying down
All we are is who we be
You be you and I'll be me
But our time has just begun
Bongo Nation on the run
We and we
We can lead
We can lead our lives the way we wish
Only we
Only we
Control the path of our own destiny
With a new day on the rise
You must stare it straight in the eyes
Don't look back on your life
With regret and denial
Make a step in the right direction
Back yourself without apprehension
Sometimes life can get you down
Better to smile than to frown
We and we
We can lead
We can lead our lives the way we wish
Only we
Only we
Control the path of our own destiny
