Where is the way.

Where is the way, where is the way..,where is the way..,where is the way?
Where is the way, where is the way..,where is the way..,where is the way?
Where is the way, where is the way.., where is the way.., where is the way?

The ship can’t fit into the river, this thing needs a lake this thing is big,
The ship can’t fit into the lake, this thing needs the ocean this thing is big,
The ship can’t fit into the ocean, this thing is going back to the tree this thing is big,
The ship can’t fit into the tree, this thing is going back to the soil this thing is big.

The ship can’t fit into the lake, this thing needs the ocean this thing is big,
The ship can’t fit into the river, this thing needs a lake this thing is big.
The ship can’t fit into the lake, this thing needs the ocean this thing is big,
The ship can’t fit into the ocean, this thing is going back to the tree this thing is big,
The ship can’t fit into the tree, this thing is going back to the soil this thing is big.



Where is the way, where is the way.., where is the way.., where is the way?
Where is the way, where is the way.., where is the way.., where is the way?
Where is the way, where is the way.., where is the way.., where is the way?

Odipo where is the way?
Odipo where is the way?
Odipo where is the way?
Odipo where is the way?
Odipo where is the way?
Odipo where is the way?


Odipo, Odipo, Odipo where is the way?
Odipo, Odipo, Odipo where is the way?
Where is the way, where is the way.., where is the way.., where is the way.

Nyajwala is far,
Nyajwala is far,
Siriwo is far,
Wang Neno is far,
Sango is far my people,
Ulawe is far,
Ambira is far,
Nyadora is far,
People! People! People! Our people.

Nzoia is far,
Yala is far,
Nyando is far.

Where is the way, where is the way.., where is the way.., where is the way?

Odipo where is the way?
Odipo where is the way?

The placenta sleeps outside, dear people! Our people,
Someone has stepped on the soil,
Someone has stepped on the soil,
Someone has stepped on the soil,

The placenta sleeps outside, my kin, son of Osur…, people, people, people. Our people.
Nzoia is far,
Yala is far,
Nyando is far.
The placenta sleeps outside...Our people, someone has stepped on the soil.

The end!!!
