[INTRO — SPOKEN OVER DEEP REGGAE BASS] Ghana...
This
is
not
about
Christianity.
This
is
not
about
Islam.
This
is
not
about
whether
building
a
Cathedral
was
right
or
wrong.
The
Chief
Imam
supported
the
dream.
Christians
supported
it.
Ghanaians
supported
it.
So
please...
Don't
use
religion
to
divide
us.
Our
question
is
simple:
After
all
the
money...
WHERE
IS
THE
CATHEDRAL? [
CHORUS —
LEAD +
CHOIR] 🎵
Where
is
the
Cathedral?
Crowd:
SHOW
US
THE
CATHEDRAL!
Where
is
the
money?
Crowd:
SHOW
US
THE
VALUE!
Millions
upon
millions,
But
what
can
Ghana
see?
Taxpayers'
money
has
no
religion!
ACCOUNT
FOR
THE
PEOPLE'S
MONEY! 🎵
[VERSE 1 — THE PROMISE] It
began
as
a
personal
promise...
A
President's
pledge
to
God.
Then
the
personal
promise
Became
a
national
project.
Land
was
provided.
Buildings
came
down.
Public
money
entered
the
project.
And
Ghana
said:
Alright...
If
this
is
now
A
national
Cathedral,
Then
build
something
That
will
make
Ghana
proud!
People
donated.
Government
spent.
The
nation
waited.
And
waited...
And
waited...
[DRAMATIC BREAK] Now
Ghana...
Look
at
the
site.
Where
is
the
Cathedral?
Crowd:
WHERE
IS
IT?
Where
are
the
walls?
Crowd:
WHERE
ARE
THEY?
Where
is
the
monument
We
were
promised?
Crowd:
WHERE
IS
IT?
After
all
the
millions...
What
do
the
people
see?
A
giant
hole
Filled
with
water!
And
Ghanaians
jokingly
ask:
IS
THIS
A
CATHEDRAL...
OR
A
SWIMMING
POOL? [
CHOIR —
SATIRICAL
HOOK] 🎵
We
asked
for
a
Cathedral,
They
left
us
a
swimming
pool!
Millions
upon
millions—
Ghana,
where
is
the
value?
We
are
not
fighting
religion,
We
are
asking
for
the
truth!
SHOW
US
THE
CATHEDRAL!
SHOW
US
WHAT
THE
MONEY
DID! 🎵
SHOW
US
THE
CATHEDRAL!
[VERSE 2 — FIFTY-EIGHT MILLION] Now
listen
carefully...
About
fifty-eight
million
dollars
In
public
money
was
spent.
FIFTY-EIGHT
MILLION!
At
roughly
seventeen
million
dollars
For
an
Agenda 111
district
hospital...
Think
about
it,
Ghana.
That
amount
was
equivalent
To
the
estimated
cost
Of
more
than
THREE
Agenda 111
district
hospitals!
Hospitals
with
beds.
Hospitals
with
equipment.
Hospitals
serving
communities.
So
when
millions
go
Into
one
national
project...
The
people
have
every
right
to
ask:
WHAT
DID
WE
GET
FOR
OUR
MONEY?
[CALL AND RESPONSE] Lead:
Fifty-eight
million
dollars!
Crowd:
SHOW
US
THE
VALUE!
Lead:
Where
is
the
Cathedral?
Crowd:
SHOW
US
THE
CATHEDRAL!
Lead:
Where
are
the
walls?
Crowd:
SHOW
US
THE
WORK!
Lead:
What
does
Ghana
demand?
Crowd:
ACCOUNTABILITY!
[VERSE 3 — OPEN THE BOOKS] Then
the
books
were
opened...
Questions!
Procurement
concerns!
Questions
about
payments!
Questions
about
contracts!
Questions
about
expenditure!
And
Ghana
asks:
Who
received
what?
For
what
work?
Under
what
contract?
Where
are
the
receipts?
Where
is
the
value?
Don't
hide
behind
religion.
Don't
hide
behind
politics.
Just
open
the
books...
AND
ACCOUNT
TO
GHANA!
[BRIDGE — RELIGIOUS UNITY] Listen...
Don't
put
the
Bible
Against
the
Qur'an.
Don't
put
the
church
Against
the
mosque.
Don't
turn
Christian
Against
Muslim.
Because
our
quarrel
Is
not
with
God.
Our
quarrel
Is
not
with
Christianity.
Our
quarrel
Is
not
with
the
Cathedral.
OUR
QUESTION
IS
ACCOUNTABILITY!
[CALL AND RESPONSE] Lead:
Does
taxpayers'
money
have
a
religion?
Crowd:
NO!
Lead:
Christian
taxes?
Crowd:
GHANA'S
MONEY!
Lead:
Muslim
taxes?
Crowd:
GHANA'S
MONEY!
Lead:
Traditionalist
taxes?
Crowd:
GHANA'S
MONEY!
Lead:
What
do
we
demand?
Crowd:
ACCOUNTABILITY!
Lead:
What
do
we
want?
Crowd:
VALUE
FOR
MONEY! [
FINAL
CHORUS —
FULL
BAND &
CHOIR] 🎵
Where
is
the
Cathedral?
SHOW
US
THE
CATHEDRAL!
Where
is
the
money?
SHOW
US
THE
VALUE!
We
asked
for
a
Cathedral,
Don't
leave
us
a
swimming
pool!
Millions
upon
millions—
GHANA
DESERVES
THE
TRUTH!
Christian
and
Muslim,
One
Ghana,
one
nation!
Taxpayers'
money
Has
no
denomination!
Don't
divide
us
with
religion...
ACCOUNT
FOR
THE
PEOPLE'S
MONEY! 🎵
[OUTRO — MUSIC DROPS TO BASS] We
are
not
questioning
God.
We
are
questioning
stewardship.
We
are
not
attacking
Christianity.
We
are
demanding
accountability.
If
public
money
was
spent...
The
public
deserves
answers.
How
much
was
spent?
Who
received
it?
What
work
was
done?
And
where
is
the
value?
That
is
all
Ghana
is
asking.
No
religious
war.
No
political
gymnastics.
Just...
ACCOUNTABILITY. 🎵
Where
is
the
Cathedral?
Show
us
the
value...
Taxpayers'
money
Has
no
religion... 🎵
WHERE
IS
THE
CATHEDRAL? [
CHORUS —
LEAD +
CHOIR] 🎵
Where
is
the
Cathedral?
Taxpayers'
money
has
no
religion!
