Soft,

sway)
Oh,
Gbingbalanchet,
the
place
where
my
heart
rests.
Memories
of
the
past,
singing
in
the
wind.
Life
is
a
mystery,
flowing
like
the
river.
I
remember
the
road
that
led
me
home
The
first
time
I
walked
into
Gbingbalanchet
Several
years
have
passed
like
a
blink
But
the
warmth
of
that
soil
remains
in
my
soul
I
met
the
fathers,
the
pillars
of
the
land
Their
faces
are
gone
but
their
wisdom
stays
true
Jafuut,
Konkper,
and
dear
Bukaribik
You
were
the
beacons
that
showed
me
the
way
I
look
at
the
horizon
and
I
see
your
light
Guiding
us
forward
through
the
dark
of
the
night.
Oh,
Gbingbalanchet,
you
live
in
my
heart
From
the
past
to
the
present,
we
never
depart
I
cherish
the
moments,
the
love
that
you
gave
The
memories
are
treasures
that
I
will
always
save
Yes,
Gbingbalanchet,
you
live
in
my
heart
From
the
past
to
the
present,
we
never
depart.
We
have
taken
over,
the
torch
is
in
our
hands
It’
s
a
heavy
weight
across
these
rolling
lands
Let
us
restrain
from
the
paths
that
lead
to
decay
To
build
a
legacy
that
will
never
fade
away
We
need
the
energy,
the
conscience,
and
the
sense
To
nurture
the
young,
to
break
down
every
fence
Encourage
the
children,
teach
them
how
to
grow
Planting
the
seeds
so
the
harvest
will
show
For
the
life
we
live
today
is
but
a
song
That
keeps
our
spirits
steady,
keeps
us
feeling
strong.
Oh,
Gbingbalanchet,
you
live
in
my
heart
From
the
past
to
the
present,
we
never
depart
I
cherish
the
moments,
the
love
that
you
gave
The
memories
are
treasures
that
I
will
always
save
Yes,
Gbingbalanchet,
you
live
in
my
heart
From
the
past
to
the
present,
we
never
depart.
And
I
thank
you
for
the
love
that
bloomed
so
deep
For
Victoria
and
Kipoisua,
promises
to
keep
They
are
the
fruit,
the
beautiful
grace
Found
in
the
heart
of
this
sacred
place
May
God
keep
us
together,
in
unity
we
stand
Blessing
the
future
of
this
lovely
land.
Oh,
Gbingbalanchet,
you
live
in
my
heart
From
the
past
to
the
present,
we
never
depart
I
cherish
the
moments,
the
love
that
you
gave
The
memories
are
treasures
that

will
always
save

Gbingbalanchet,
you
live
in
my
heart
From
the
past
to
the
present,
we
never
depart.
Restraint
and
wisdom,
love
and
light
Keep
us
together
through
the
day
and
the
night
Gbingbalanchet,
you
are
my
home
Wherever
I
go,
you
are
the
seed
I
have
sown
Blessings
to
all. (
