A song made by Angoni clearing and Forwarding
One love, people of the soil
Professor Edgar Ng'oma speaking to the heart of the nation
Listen to the wisdom, listen to the truth
Yeah, feel the riddim
I, Professor Edgar Ng'oma, I bring a warning word
In the southern region of Africa, the cry is clearly heard
I concluded my research, the data tell a story
Of homes that lost their rhythm and lost their ancient glory
In the sixties, seventies, eighties, we stood strong as a wall
But now sixty percent are ending, watching the temple fall
Why divorce? Why divorce? Tell me the reason why?
Is it the changing of the seasons that makes the love die?
Why divorce? Why divorce? Tell me why?
Are we chasing shadows while the promises go dry?
Why divorce? Why divorce? Tell me why?
We need the wisdom of the elders to keep the spirits high
Today we choose our partners by the feeling of the heat
We ignore the character, we only look at the sweet
In the past, the clan and family helped to choose the stone
To build a foundation so no one stands alone
But now we choose by ourselves, and when the weather shifts
We throw away the treasure, we cast away the gifts
It's a seasonal heart, blowing in the wind of change
Making something holy feel distant and so strange
We not saying go back to the days of old
But we need the ancient fire to keep the love from growing cold
Choose with wisdom, let character be the light
That guides you through the valley and carries you through the night
Why divorce? Why divorce? Tell me why?
Are we chasing shadows while the promises go dry?
Why divorce? Why divorce? Tell me why?
We need the wisdom of the elders to keep the spirits high
Yeah, think about it
Character over emotion, wisdom over the rush
Professor Edgar Ng'oma
Keep the home strong, keep the bond deep
One love, one people
Roots, reggae, wisdom.
