Oh,
hear
the
river
flow
Kesiena,
just
hold
on
tight
We
go
see
light
today
Every
morning
I
carry
this
empty
can
Walking
the
road
with
hope
in
my
hands
Mama
hides
her
tears
behind
a
smile
Papa
grows
weaker
with
every
mile
Omo,
the
road
is
long
but
we
dey
try
Underneath
this
burning
Nigerian
sky
Oh
Kesiena,
don't
lose
your
faith
Hope
will
find
you
someday
Clean
water
is
life,
let
the
rivers
flow
Every
child
deserves
to
grow
Ufuoma,
Ufuoma,
Oghene
k
We
go
survive
this
gbedu
of
life
My
little
brother
calls
my
name
His
quiet
pain
feels
just
the
same
The
water
we
drink
steals
life
away
Yet
it's
all
we
have
each
passing
day
See
gobe,
but
we
no
go
dulling
Steady
rising,
yeah
we
keep
on
calling
Oh
Kesiena,
don't
lose
your
faith
Hope
will
find
you
someday
Clean
water
is
life,
let
the
rivers
flow
Every
child
deserves
to
grow
Ufuoma,
Ufuoma,
Oghene
k
We
go
survive
this
gbedu
of
life
If
the
river
could
hear
my
voice
Would
it
wash
our
pain
away?
If
tomorrow
brings
a
little
light
Maybe
we'll
live
to
see
that
day
Oh
Kesiena,
don't
lose
your
faith
Hope
will
find
you
someday
Clean
water
is
life,
let
the
rivers
flow
Every
child
deserves
to
grow
Ufuoma,
Ufuoma,
Oghene
k
Let
the
rivers
flow
For
you
Kesiena,
we
rise
Hope
is
coming,
yeah (
