You and I, we are wrong if we think everything is right
There's a fire burning on the roof our future is dying as we sleep
We must awake from the lies we've been told about ourselves
There's no reason to be ashamed of who we are and where we're from
E jowo o, e k'omo l'ede ile wa o
E jowo o, e k'omo l'asa ile wa o
E jowo o, e k'omo n'itan ile wa o
E jowo o, e fun won l'aso ile wa wo
You're so proud today to hear them speak in a foreign tongue
It's not fair to keep them away from who they are and live a lie
All these children, they are strangers
To their own roots and culture
We must try to right the wrongs
And show them the beauty in who they are
O d'eni - eni
eji, eta, erin, aarun, eefa... |
