Play me a song of hope
Let the children dance,
Let the women sing,
Let the old men clap
Play me a song of love,
Let the lovers kiss
Let the youth rejoice
Let the aged smile
Play me a song of peace
Let the earth reverb
Let the world be glad
Let all nature be happy
Play me a song for nature
Let the birds keep on singing
Let the trees keep on clapping
Let breeze keep on strumming
Play me a song of life
Let the newborn baby cry
Let the young man be wise
Let the aged rest
Play me a song a death
A song we all must sing
As we take a bow
From our sojourn here on earth
(c) Chukwudi I.
