We are Eelam (sung to the tune of ‘We are the World’) - written by V. Parayakaran, music by Lionel Ritchie and Michael Jackson 
There comes a time, when you need a certain call,
When Tamils must come together as one.
There are LTTE cadres dying,
And it’s time to donate some cash*
For Eelam, the greatest gift of all.
We can’t go on, pretending day by day,
That the international community, somehow, will soon make a change.
You’re all a part of Eelam’s great big family,
And the truth, you know cash* is all we need
(chorus)
We are Eelam, you are its fund raisers,
We are the ones who make a brighter day, so you start giving
There’s a choice we’re making,
We’re saving our racially pure homeland,
It’s true we’ll make a better day, just your money and the LTTE
Sing
Well, send ‘em your cash*,
So the LTTE doesn’t have to hunt you down,
And then we will be stronger and rich.
As the Sun God has shown us, by turning grandmas to soldiers,
You all must give a healthy donation
We are Eelam, you are its fund raisers,
We are the ones who make a brighter day, so you start giving
There’s a choice we’re making,
We’re saving our racially pure homeland,
It’s true we’ll make a better day, just your money and the LTTE
When we’re surrounded by the SL Army,
There seems no hope at all.
But if you just donate, there’s no way the LTTE can fall.
Well, well, well, you better realize that Eelam can only come
When you all donate as much as you can
Repeat chorus
(Repeat chorus until donation target for the day is met)
