Whispering wishes

Initial strings of religious friction buried away
Hopes, dreams, shattered be assembled each day.
Ambition thwarted 'll mend in an easy way,
Thuggery, violence, be unheard, Let's pray!

Humanistic approach to problems adopted
Irrespective of race, religious divisions settled.
Not mere concepts, but urgently implemented
To safeguard country from fanatics attempted.

Vituperative, acrimonious, politics disappear
The urgent need country Before Party, be here.
Waves of Harmony, Togetherness, Lasting Peace
'll reign our motherland, never, ever cease.

No tribulations be visible on distant horizon
Leaders 'll adhere to proposals, with great amazon.
Dangerous repercussions 'll smoothly evacuate
Universal message of Love 'll really permeate.

The ugly spectre of undercurrent affairs
That reddened our soil 'll never repeat despair.
Lasting solutions 'll turn frowning faces, bewitching smiles
Sri Lanka 'll achieve goals, making true Paradise isle.

Our nation 'll usher in stability 'n contentment
Patriotism, Equity, Amity, Commitment, Economy, prominent.
Country saved from National disintegration
Brighten each day, in National rejuvenation!
