They picked up their guns and weapons, because during that time that is all that they had….
Now we are picking up pens and pencils, because that is what we have… They give their lives for this mission…
We will give our souls into this mission…
They gave the Tamils courage to stand up for what was right and wrong…
We will give the knowledge of what is right and wrong…
They give their blood and soul into this…
We will give our power and strength into this….
They started showing the light into the dark tunnel…
We will carry the light down to the end of the tunnel…
They taught us that we needed to be independent…
We need to show the world that we could be independent…
They are watching us from above…
We have to show them from below…
They shed tears of blood
And we will wipe the tears that they blood…
They have done their duties…
We have just started…
They showed us no matter what came their way, they always stuck together…
Now we will have to stick together, just like them…
They are still wondering around looking for a place to rest…
We still need to create a place for them to rest in peace…
They have handed down the flames…
We have to keep it burning till we reach our dream…
They protected the flag with their lives…
We need to protect it with our hearts…
They are holding us up high in the sky…
We need to learn to fly…
They are our true heroes…
We are their followers…
You may all be wondering who they are They are our Maveerarkals And we are the future…
