[male
vocals] (
Gentle,
rhythmic
pulse
of
wooden
percussion) (
Melodic
wooden
flute
echoes
over
the
river
current) (
Slow
build
of
talking
drums
and
rhythmic
gongs)
Welcome
to
owigiri
sound (
Gentle,
rhythmic
pulse
of
wooden
percussion)
The
river
flows
with
ancient
light
Between
the
banks
of
morning
gold
The
wooden
flute
begins
to
play
A
story
that
is
never
told
The
drum
beat
wakes
the
sleeping
tide
A
rhythm
born
of
salt
and
clay
We
watch
the
water
carve
its
path
Beneath
the
heat
of
middle
day
Oh,
the
river
flows
so
wide
and
deep
In
the
cradle
where
the
shadows
sleep
The
rhythm
moves
the
restless
soul
Making
every
broken
spirit
whole
Oh,
the
river
flows
so
wide
and
deep
In
the
cradle
where
the
shadows
sleep
The
rhythm
moves
the
restless
soul
Making
every
broken
spirit
whole
Oh,
Izonkeme,
keep
your
spirit
strong
Cos
Nana-owei
is
beside
you (
Gentle,
rhythmic
pulse
of
wooden
percussion
and
sax)
The
gongs
are
ringing
soft
and
low
Across
the
delta’
s
quiet
face
We
drift
upon
the
steady
stream
With
such
a
calm
and
steady
grace
No
need
for
rush,
no
need
for
speed
Just
let
the
current
pull
us
near
The
heartbeat
of
the
ancestral
land
Is
all
the
music
we
need
to
hear
Oh,
the
river
flows
so
wide
and
deep
In
the
cradle
where
the
shadows
sleep
In
the
cradle
where
the
shadows
sleep
The
rhythm
moves
the
restless
soul
Making
every
broken
spirit
whole
Oh,
the
river
flows
so
wide
and
deep
In
the
cradle
where
the
shadows
sleep
The
rhythm
moves
the
restless
soul
Making
every
broken
spirit
whole
Oh,
Izonkeme,
keep
your
spirit
strong
Cos
Tamarau
is
beside
you
Sunlight
dances
on
the
crest
Of
every
wave
that
greets
the
shore
Finding
peace
within
the
pulse
That
lives
forever,
evermore
The
drums
intensify
the
breath
Of
every
living,
waking
thing
Listen
to
the
delta
song
That
only
river
waters
sing
The
evening
draws
its
velvet
cloak
Over
the
reeds
and
mangrove
trees
A
gentle
stillness
settles
in
Carried
on
the
evening
breeze
We
rest
our
hands
upon
the
hull
And
let
the
rhythm
lead
us
home
Across
the
miles
of
silver
blue
And
all
the
miles
of
river
foam
Oh,
the
river
flows
so
wide
and
deep
In
the
cradle
where
the
shadows
sleep
The
rhythm
moves
the
restless
soul
Making
every
broken
spirit
whole
Oh,
the
river
flows
so
wide
and
deep
In
the
cradle
where
the
shadows
sleep
The
rhythm
moves
the
restless
soul
Making
every
broken
spirit
whole
Oh,
Izonkeme,
keep
your
spirit
strong
Cos
ayiba
is
beside
you (
Talking
drums
fade
into
a
soft,
steady
pulse) (
Wooden
flute
plays
the
final
melodic
line) (
Only
the
sound
of
the
gongs
remains) (
Soft
fade
to
silence)
