Gaman

Gaman

Gaman is a word, to be spoken and heard
In this place where each face has a story of pain
Gaman, we will say
As we get through each day
We will bear any nightmare
With a simple refrain

Gaman, gaman
Sturdy and sure
Keep faith and endure
Gaman, gGaman
Hold your head high
Carry on,
Gaman

So come walk with me
Through adversity
Hold me hand as we stand
Both squarely and brave
Our spirits renewed
Through our shared fortitude
We know what we forgo
And what we sustain
We know that is no turning back
Gaman
If we hold together and nothing we lack
For better or worse
Whether blessed or cursed
Together, we’ll ever remain

Gaman, gaman
Sturdy and sure
Keep faith and endure
We shall endure, Gaman,
Dignity pride
As we stand side by side
Even when all hope seems gone
Gaman, Gaman, Gaman
