A song made by Angoni clearing and Forwarding
(Siren wails, deep bass pulse)
One love, people of the South.
Professor Edgar Ng'oma speaking truth to the people.
Listen to the rhythm, hear the message.
I have concluded my research, the findings bring a chill
In the 60s and the 80s, we were standing still
Till death do us part, that was the sacred vow
But sixty percent of the unions are breaking down right now
Why the hurry to leave? Why the fire in the heart?
When the season changes, you're looking for a fresh start.
Why divorce? Why divorce? Oh, tell me why?
Is the love burning out, or is it just a lie?
Why divorce? Why divorce? Need to know the reason why
Can we fix the broken pieces before we say goodbye?
Today people choose based on feelings they call love
Forget the character, forget the blessings from above
In the ancient days, the clan would play their part
They looked for wisdom, not just the beating of a heart
But now when the weather turns and the cold wind blows
(Yoh!) The commitment fades away, and nobody knows.
Why divorce? Why divorce? Oh, tell me why?
Is the love burning out, or is it just a lie?
Why divorce? Why divorce? Need to know the reason why
Can we fix the broken pieces before we say goodbye?
(Dub echoes, saxophone wailing)
We ain't saying go back to the days of old
But the wisdom of the elders is worth more than gold
Choose with the mind, not just the emotion
Build a foundation that stands across the ocean.
Why divorce? Why divorce? Oh, tell me why?
Is the love burning out, or is it just a lie?
Why divorce? Why divorce? Need to know the reason why
Can we fix the broken pieces before we say goodbye?
(Heavy bass line fades out)
Think before you leap, my people.
Character is the key, not just the feeling.
Stay strong, stay together.
One love, Jah guide.
(Guitar skank fades)
