I’m from the piano in my living room,
from the music and melody.
I’m from the old, shabby couches,
(Placed proportionally,
opposite side from the TV)
I’m from the mirror,

They didn't walk across the border seeking a better life.
They were snatched from...

A Christ was born to lead a way
To alter what the Jews had taught
But there would come a time someday
His teachings would be all for naught

Lies the old but tattered roofs 
Of the ancient city of Ibadan
