Gbagun gbagun gbagun (beats)
Koko koko ko koko koko ko (gongs)
Life drums
Let us move to the rhythm of the beat
Shall we dance
Shall we dance to the tune of the beat
Shall we create our tune
Invent our dance steps
Or we dance to whatever life plays
Life dictates we follow
It calls we answer
Shall we carve a path to follow
Or shall we follow wherever life leads
Koko ko ko Life drums, let us sway to the beat of life
Let us enjoy the flow
While we create a path
And play our part
Let us blaze the trail
Even as we grow day by day
Life is a master
We are apprentices
Let us earn and obtain our freedom
Let us show life we can learn and be free
Let us stand up and take what life has to offer
While we offer life what we can give
Life drums
Shall we sway to the rhythm of the beat
Or shall we create our own tune
Shall we dance
Shall we dance, the dance of fulfillment
After life has opened up its hand to us
Shall we dance the dance of joy
When we birth to life what we so have nurtured
Shall we dance, shall we dance
The dance of bliss When heart melts
And hands clap
As we stand on the podium of accomplishment
Saying to life you called I answered
You led I followed
Only I branched to create what my life needed
Yes shall we dance
I say dance we shall
Shall we Dance?

Thanks for the comments. I will drop some more soon. The science laboratory keeps me away from online poetry. But I still work it offline. Thanks
