What you gonna do Zimbabwe
Childs Toni addresses Zimbabwe and asks what actions they plan on taking to rectify the issues affecting their country.

Zimbabwe is a man who tried
The country of Zimbabwe is personified as a man who attempted to instill positive values in his children.

To teach his children what was right
Zimbabwe was attempting to impart a moral code onto his offspring.

But then there came a time when war
However, an era of fighting emerged.

Split the family from inside
The conflict established division within the family.

He said no fighting no more
Zimbabwe expresses his opposition to further conflict and emphasizes the importance of peace.

The old man sits and shakes his head
Zimbabwe is now ailing and disheartened by the tumultuous state of the nation.

While the multitudes insist
Contrarily, many citizens believe that war is the only way to unify the country.

War is the cause of unity
The populace appears to view warfare as necessary, or even beneficial for national cohesion.

With just one thought there could be peace
Despite this, Zimbabwe still holds onto the hope of pacifying the nation with a change in mentality.

Men gathered in silence the same
Zimbabwe imagines a scenario where individuals of differing beliefs can come together with one voice and create harmony.

Can there be some peace on earth
Zimbabwe questions if a world without conflict is possible.

Can there be a love
He further asks if genuine love can supersede the ongoing animosity.

Greater than the world we see
Zimbabwe wonders if love possesses a magnitude greater than the issues plaguing the nation.

Greater than us all
He then queries if love surpasses the individuals within the country.

It's the last station home
Zimbabwe believes that achieving peace is ultimate destination of humanity.

You ran your heart in those days
Childs Toni acknowledges the emotional turmoil resultant of the nation's previous conflicts.

When no-one could see days
The previous hardships the people of Zimbabwe experienced went unnoticed by those beyond the nation's borders.

You want to run in the wind
Childs Toni suggests that the people long for a sense of liberation from the issues plaguing their nation.

You want to go back inside
However, the people seek also to find solace within their home country.

See no more crime in your lifetime
The citizens hope to live out the rest of their days in a crime-free environment.

Zimbabwe, Zimbabwe
Childs Toni repeats the name of the country to emphasize its significance.

No more crime in your lifetime
The citizens reiterate their desire for a harmonious nation without criminal activity.

Zimbabwe, Zimbabwe
Childs Toni repeats the name of the country as a concluding statement.
