Children of Africa

Fishing is one job to which we aspire
In Luo tradition, there are few jobs higher
But with waves of modernity shaping our shore

Now it's education that we value much more

So, let's stop at our school and check it out
For plenty is happening there no doubt
It's a place of learning and a hub of activity
Where we exercise our minds and test our agility

Back home of course we have homework, too
But when the chores are over we're just like you
That is, like children anywhere, we love to play
And that's just what we do till the day runs away

And as days must end, so must visitors go
We really enjoyed your visit though

So as we give you a 'push' to the outskirts of our town
We'll leave you with smiles instead of good-bye frowns
