My People My Love

Can oil be separated from water? Can a mountain be separated from the ground? Who can drain all the water in the oceans? I would never forget my root, my beginning I am bound to this land by blood My people are my love Upon the mountains and valley i would fight For their liberty and right Although many may despise me in the long run But i care not because they belong to me Even if there is no money, i will work According to the old song, "Igwebuike" He that has people has strength and power My people are my love May amadioha protect them We dance in happiness when our Chi remember us We dance together in happiness Measure our joy with our footsteps I would let go of the past history Restructure the fallen mountains then Welcome development in their lives Because my people are my love.
