East Timor |
| Sandalwood trees are evergreen |
| Cut them down |
| Plant coffee beans |
| Build no schools |
| Construct no roads |
| Mark them as fools |
| Let ignorance rule |
| Leave them stranded on their island |
| Treat them to the tune of silence |
| Red is the cross that covers out shame |
| Every Kingdom, every land |
| Has it’s heart in the common land |
| Silently the tide shifts the sand |
| Bury my heart on East-Timor |
| In coral sands |
| On golden shores |
| Buried are those |
| Who lived their lives |
| No place to hide for |
| Father and child |
| Leave them stranded on their island |
| Treat them to the tune of silence |
| We shake the hands that kill and |
| forgive |
| Every Kingdom, every land |
| Has its heart in the common man |
| Silently the tide shifts the sand |
| Bury my heart on East-Timor |
| On barren graves |
| Where flowers won’t grow |
| Blooms our Red cross lovingly |
| This nightingale deed |
| So we can be free |
| Stranded on their island |
| This army of the silent |
| We toast our own goodwill and forget |
| Every kingdom, every land |
| Has its heart in the common man |
| Silently the tide shifts the sand |
