Dance, Oh My Home

DANCE, OH MY HOME Dance, oh my home! With heads bowed in prayers Heart filled with love, open arms for all Till the rising wave stills. Dance, oh my home! To laws and orders And cling to peace Till they are gored with pity Dance, oh my home! In one voice to win With acceptance and unison of thoughts Till their plans are torn. Dance, oh my home! At the Heaven's gate with faith Through patience, knock for help Till your bleeding heart is healed. Dedicated to the memory of those who lost their lives during the ill-fated military drill tagged Operation Python Dance II in the southeastern region of Nigeria.
