Two Wic

from Nicango by Benjamin Spartos

/

about

TWO WIC is an Acoli word that means MENTAL HEALTH CHALLENGES.

This song calls on us to walk/stand/come together for mental health challenges. It’s a reminder that we all can fall a victim of mental health challenges. So many times people battling mental health challenges are abused, violated and called all sorts of names instead of being supported with genuine love. This is one of the greatest barriers to their recovery. In order for the medication they are given to work well they need a positive environment where people give them a shoulder to lean and a constant reminder that they are beyond the condition that they are battling. You don’t lose anything when you give a helping hand to somebody that cannot stand on their own

In the eyes of Benjamin Spartos

lyrics

Mental health challenges are real
They are our problems

Bin wawot kacel lok kom two wic
Bin wawot kacel lok kom two wic
Bin wawot kacel lok kom two wic
Bin wawot kacel lok kom two wic

No matter where you come from two wic romo maki
Romo mako latin ni
Kedi ngato mo
No matter where you come from two wic romo neki
Romo neko latin ni
Kedi ngato mo

What do you lose when you give a helping hand
to somebody that can't stand oh I don't understand
What do you lose when you give a helping hand
to somebody that can't stand oh I don't understand

Bin wawot kacel lok kom two wic
Bin wawot kacel lok kom two wic
Bin wawot kacel lok kom two wic
Bin wawot kacel lok kom two wic

Pe bed kalwongo dano
Nying mo calo pe dano
Lwongo dano kumeno pe mitte
Pe bed kalwongo dano
Nying mo calo pe dano
Ni in lapwoya lajok laming
oh pe mitte

The words we speak are life and death
They are life and death
oh Life and death
Leb wa kwo ki to
Leb wa kwo ki to

Bin wawot kacel lok kom two wic
Bin wawot kacel lok kom two wic
Bin wawot kacel lok kom two wic
Bin wawot kacel lok kom two wic
