proud of February 13th
just like magic
just like sorcery
limitless
except all the
goodness
all the badness
grew up in a place
where there's everything
we the youth
aren't the lazy ones
what happened in the
past
what is happening now
what is going to
happen next
I know it all....
what I want in the
past
what I want now
what I need in the
future
I know it all
English and Burma
the first war
........the second
war
........the third war
slaves of
colonization
I know it all
we don't let
ourselves
submerge in the
slavery
I know all the
rebellion of the Patriots
I know the teacher
and the lord Mhine
I know the general
Minn Yaung
I know the Farmer
teacher San
I know the lord Aung
Sann
I know the lord Ba
Hein
I know the lord Thann
Htunn
I know the lord Aung
Kyaw
History before their
birth
I know parts of their
lives
after their birth
the great and the
grand
history of the
students movement
history of the
citizen movement
history of the monks
movement
the cruelty of this
upholding authority
the inhumane history
I know it all
The flow of the
generation
among those who know
their duty and uphold it
a mother who love
their country more than their life I know it all
loving the simple
life of a man
a man of age thirty
two
the ability of a
fascinating history
the mindset that
should be an example
the youth of the new
generation
for a brighter future
let's make the best
and be proud of February 13th
