Born out of dignity and Labour

The tales of Ancient HILLS

The \'Mada hills\' of Akwanga

The tales of Great Lakes

The tales of mighty springs

The \'Tunga Nupawa Spring\'

And the \'Assakio spring\' of Lafia

Far away from the boundaries of home

 

The tales of wonderful reserves

The \'Tie & Dye pits\' of Keffi

\"Swing no more to foreign drums

But to our own Ancestral rhythms

Brush not away mother tongue

And keep track of the Ancient path

For our CULTURE TO LIVE ON\"
