I have been away from you a-while
After when I left you in the state
That hurly-burly of the west
I journeyed all through the night
A journey without a nap
And I passed through some strange
And unknown lands, a home to others
But my sleepless sight elongated the night
And the bush along the road
That leads to my northern neighbor destination
All glad and waved at our bus
Aiming at the city of the stubborn winter
At dawn I was happy, tho’ my eye were heavy
When the rising sun smile at us
And accompany us to the city of Jos
« return.
