BU-FA-RE-FU (boo FAH ray foo)

(CHORUS)
BU-FA-RE-FU
BU-FA-RE-FU
We’re building families to rescue the future.
We’re building families to rescue the future.

Verse One:
No matter what your age, you need to know–the plight we’re in.
No matter what your age, you need to know–the truth from sin.
Ohh–we are here to claim our future NOW!!
We want to show a better way. We will put down complacency
...and ACT.

(CHORUS)
BU-FA-RE-FU
BU-FA-RE-FU
We’re building families to rescue the future.
We’re building families to rescue the future.

Verse Two:
Children are dying, for just being kids.
People are swearing, their deadly deeds will correct the ills.
Ohh–who will protect the “gift of life” that’s attacked? Who will show
a way that’s right? Who will lay down their FEAR for FACT?

(CHORUS)
BU-FA-RE-FU
BU-FA-RE-FU
We’re building families to rescue the future.
We’re building families to rescue the future.

Note: BU-FA-RE-FU is an acronym for “Building Families to Rescue the Future.” The author likes the rhythm of the sounds and the envisioned reminiscence (imagining the past) of a not so distant African/mother tongue. BU-FA-RE-FU is a chant about our forebearers and the present and future generations must continue to pass on the melody and the challenge.
