Uncle Ho
Empowerment Through Unity: Uncle Ho's Lesson
Lyrics
He educated all the people
Uncle Ho educated the entire population.
He demonstrated to the world
He demonstrated to the world.
If a man will stand for his own land
If a man defends his homeland, he possesses immense strength.
He's got the strength of ten
This man's strength is metaphorically equivalent to ten.
And if we'd only learn the lesson
Learning the lesson from Uncle Ho could be beneficial.
It could even be a blessin'
Understanding and applying the lesson could be a blessing.
He and me might disagree
The narrator and Uncle Ho might have disagreements.
But we needn't go to shootin' again
Despite disagreements, resorting to violence is unnecessary.
And if soldier boys in every land said
If soldiers worldwide refuse to go to war,
"Hell, no, we won't go!" What do you say?
They express, "Hell, no, we won't go!"
"Hell, no, we won't go!" Say it again!
Repetition of the refusal to go to war.
"Hell, no, we won't go!"
Continued refusal to participate in war.
I'll have to say in my own way
The narrator expresses their perspective.
The only way that I know
The narrator's way is the only way they know.
That we learned power to the peoplе
We gained power for the people.
And the power to know from teachеr Uncle Ho!
We learned from the teaching of Uncle Ho.
He educated all the people

Repetition of the refusal to go to war (repeated).
"Hell, no, we won't go!"
Continued refusal to participate in war (repeated).
