Lyrics:

The nation asks

Who placed me here

Who dragged me into this darkness

There is no answer

Only

Silence

Waving the flag

Flags shake in the wind

Words speak of justice

But truth

Always arrives last

Law stays on paper

Conscience hides beneath the desk

Fairness becomes a slogan

Responsibility is passed hand to hand

The nation is heavy

Too heavy

Heavier than desire

Heavier than one person’s tears

The weight of the nation

Is carried by the people

Power fades away

But pain remains

In the name of justice

Wounds are left behind

And history

Sends the bill

Back to the people

Politics becomes a play

Parliament turns into a stage

The script is already written

The people become the audience

Laughing

Crying

Raging

Until finally

They surrender

The word “impeachment”

Is not a blade

The real weapon

Is the intention

Of the hand that holds it

Justice

Or power

The nation asks

And the people

Grow tired

The weight of the nation

Is carried by the people

Some rise in victory

Some collapse

But those still standing

Are the nameless ones

The silent majority

Children ask

Why does the country fight

Adults turn away

Because there is no answer

The economy becomes numbers

Life becomes statistics

Between them

A citizen’s day

Quietly collapses

If justice were real

Why are the people

Always the ones who suffer

If fairness were alive

Why does tomorrow

Feel heavier

The weight of the nation

Is carried by the people

This country

Is held up by us

Power is borrowed

The nation remains

Remember

The owner of this weight

Is the people

A nation

Is not a name

A nation

Is not one face

A nation

Is your day

Your breath

Your endurance

The weight of the nation

Is carried by the people

But someday

This weight

Will find meaning

When silence

Becomes courage

When endurance

Becomes history

The nation

Breathes again

Today

The nation

Still carries its burden

Into tomorrow

And that weight

Rests upon your shoulders

Quietly

But unmistakably

There
