For the Innocent Dead Biafrans
For the innocent dead biafrans
I light up a peace full candle
for the late
As it burns i feel your
Presence among the living
As i hear the voice
saying
They can only kill
But a few
They cant kill all of us
Even when they do
They cant kill the legacy
of our struggle
Hmmm.... I breath in
As the peaceful candle burns
I realise even the dead at
Rest lives among the living
For their legacy is getting
Us closer and closer
To our long awaited freedom
So as i mourn for the dead
as i let them rest in peace
I can never forget your gift
to humanity
Oh people of the rising sun.
Farewell and thanks
