Adventure Into The Unknown
Of ecstasies within and without
of roses getting sour
in the mouth.
We've learnt to live beyond.
Báyìí là ń ṣe.
Of a night without
the moon and the stars -
lonely, desolate, sequestered in
despair of a bright tomorrow.
Still we learnt to sing the song
of hope to a bright tomorrow.
Báyìí là ń ṣe
Báyìí là ń ṣe
when a thousand eyes look down on us
Báyìí là ń ṣe
when five-hundred-smiles frown their faces.
Our legs have tasted the burn of Coal;
Our cracked lips - the meal of death.
If but this is not enough, how our souls
are trapped in the hell of despondence
And if this indeed be not enough still
we've learnt to sing the song of hope -
the song that defines us.
That makes us Champion in the face of death!
we sing the song of HOME in a strange land
-we sing the song of hope!
in the face of trials
Báyìí là ń ṣe
And when it's time to find home, we know the way.
