(Verse 1)
In the land of Bangladesh, under the sun's bright ray,
Students took to the streets, demanding a fairer way⁴.
A quota system in place, for jobs in government's space,
But the youth cried out, "It's time for a change of pace!"⁵.
(Chorus)
Oh Bangladesh, oh Bangladesh, your children raise their voice,
In the face of adversity, they've made a choice.
To stand for what is right, in the day and in the night,
In the hope that tomorrow, will be a little more bright⁴.
(Verse 2)
The protests began last month, with tensions running high,
At Dhaka University, the sparks began to fly⁵.
Clashes with the police, and counter-protesters too,
A hundred people injured, as the violence grew⁵.
(Chorus)
Oh Bangladesh, oh Bangladesh, in turmoil and unrest,
Your children are fighting, giving their very best.
For a system based on merit, not on a past war's credit,
In the hope that tomorrow, will be a day they'll never regret⁵.
(Bridge)
More than a hundred lives lost, in the struggle and the fight²,
Universities closed their doors, in the wake of the fright⁵.
Yet the spirit remains unbroken, the resolve ever strong,
In the heart of every protester, singing freedom's song⁴.
(Chorus)
Oh Bangladesh, oh Bangladesh, hear your children's plea,
For a future filled with hope, where they can truly be free.
In the face of adversity, they stand tall and brave,
In the hope that tomorrow, will be a brighter day⁴.
(Outro)
So here's to Bangladesh, a nation strong and bold,
May your children's voices be heard, their stories be told.
In the fight for justice, may their spirits never tire,
In the hope that tomorrow, brings the change they desire⁴.
