Onicha
AKUNNE Glastonbury, CT
Friday, July 13, 2007 I can see you Onicha Rise Above the waters Of the Niger And the bridge I can see Your Majesty Emerge Reach for the skies And the seas
I can see you Onicha Extend Your bejeweled hands To The neighbors Oka Asaba Nnewi and Ihiala In order
From the tombs Where the missionaries Lay To the market place Where others trade I can see you Now In all Your splendor Lord to many A home To all the world
I can see Your stars Twinkle Across the land Beyond the Nile I can see you Onicha Rise To your glory In time
Birds fall From the skies Unto the land And away again They disappear And reappear Men And women March to the beats Of your regal drums Awe and wonder Behold your world.
Onicha!
