Why You Follow
That path is yours

For your life
LOVE FREEDOM PEACE
Rolling down Yoruba Road
Like water down a hill
People moving forward
Making a way for
The rest
Why you follow
Because you must…
To be able to lead
Learning on Yoruba Road
En route to the Mother Father
And the child
The children are waiting
On Yoruba Road
