Sri Lanka at its Best

I hear the school bus tooting and the children are impatient to go to school,
I touch their hearts, pure with only innocence in their minds,
I feel the anxiety in parentƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ¢-¾‚¢s hearts, the fear of safety is the only thing in their minds,
I smell the breakfast that is ready to eat before everyone goes to work and back in one piece,
I see the tears of the families when soldiers are ready to leave.

I hear the joy so far away and yet so powerful,
My tears are not enough to express my joy,
I wish I was with you at this glorious moment of peace.
ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚
I am happy my country is for everyone,
I am happy for all children that will be born without a burden of a war,
I am happy for all school children who comes home without a fear of a bomb,
I am happy for all mothers and fathers, who are at peace when their children are at school,
I am happy for all grandparents, who are at peace when their children are at work,
I am happy for all soldiers that they donƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ¢-¾‚¢t have to fight,
I am happy for my country; now at its best, in one piece and in peace.
