the
rhythm
of
gratitude
Odogwu
Nteje,
akwukwo
ego,
we
sing
your
name
today
Akwukwo
ego
When
the
wind
was
blowing
hard
against
our
home
And
our
sister
felt
the
shadows
start
to
roam
You
stood
like
a
mountain,
steady
and
so
tall
You
caught
her
hand
before
she
could
ever
fall
Chai,
you
akwukwo
ego
showed
us
what
it
means
to
be
a
man
With
a
heart
of
gold,
you
came
with
a
master
plan
From
Nteje
to
the
world,
your
light
is
shining
bright
You
turned
the
heavy
darkness
into
morning
light
Nteje
amaka
Odogwu
Nteje,
akwukwo
ego,
hero
of
the
land
You
reached
out
and
gave
a
helping
hand
Akwukwo

man
of
honor
and
grace
You
put
a
beautiful
smile
back
upon
her
face
Odogwu
Nteje,
akwukwo
ego
we
celebrate
your
name
Your
kindness
is
a
fire,
a
burning
noble
flame
People
look
for
greatness
in
the
flashy
things
But
you
found
it
in
the
comfort
that
goodness
brings
Our
sister,
our
mother,
our
wife
in
her
pride
Is
walking
tall
now
with
you
by
her
side
Omo,
the
shenanigans
tried
to
take
their
toll
But
you
akwukwo
ego
protected
her
spirit
and
her
soul
With
wisdom
from
the
elders,
you
guided
the
way
That
is
why
we
lift
your
voice
to
the
sky
today
Odogwu
