Whenever a People is Oppressed They Wait...
Language: English 
As it was in the old days, so it is now. 
Whenever a people is oppressed 
They wait in hope for the one who will lead them.
And when a child is born, they look at him and say…
“Is this the one who will save us?” 
They know when he has the look. 
They look at him and they say, 
“This is the one who will save us.” 
This is the one!
They can tell!
