Lowe Sema Lyrics by Gypsies

May everyone in this world be children of one mother.
No hardship,
no division,
let a beautiful world dawn for us tomorrow.

Casting humanity aside,
puffed up with racism,
torn apart by hatred,
people have lost their way.
When someone has fallen, to lift them back up,
do not hesitate to hold out your hand.
His country, his race, his religion, his caste,
do not go searching for them.
Spreading the song of peace across the whole world,
as one people, let us all live bound together as one.

This is a song with a message, a plea for unity and basic human decency in a country that has known too much division. It does not tell a love story or follow one person’s heartbreak. Instead it speaks to all of us at once, asking for a world where people stop separating each other by race, religion and caste, and simply treat one another as family.

It opens with a wish, almost like a prayer: may everyone be the children of one mother. In Sri Lanka, where Sinhala, Tamil and Muslim communities have lived through years of conflict, that single image carries real weight. To call all people children of one mother is to say the lines we draw between us are false, and that underneath them we are one family. The song dreams of a tomorrow with no suffering and no division, a “beautiful world” dawning like a sunrise over everything that came before.

The middle of the song names what has gone wrong, plainly and without flinching. People have thrown humanity aside, swelled up with racism, and let hatred split them apart, until they have lost their way completely. Then it turns to the listener with a simple instruction. When you see someone who has fallen, reach out and lift them up, and do not pause to ask his country, his race, his religion or his caste first. The point is sharp: help should never depend on which group a person belongs to. A hand offered to someone in need should not come with a background check.

It ends where it began, on hope. The image of spreading “the song of peace” across the whole world fits a band like Gypsies, whose music itself becomes the thing that carries the message. The closing wish is to live as one people, bound together as one. What the listener is left holding is not romance or sorrow but a quiet challenge, to set aside the labels we inherit and meet each other simply as human beings.
