Nna,
let
the
music
play
for
a
giant
A
man
of
truth,
a
man
of
light
We
remember
you
today,
Mr.
John
In
the
quiet
streets
of
our
memory
We
talk
about
the
man
who
lived
so
free
John
Nnofueme
Kawekwune
was
his
name
He
walked
the
path
with
a
different
flame
He
didn't
need
to
shout
to
be
heard
His
life
was
written
in
every
honest
word
Transparency
was
the
clothes
he
wore
Always
opening
the
humble
door
Oh,
John
Nnofueme,
you
showed
us
the
way
Upright
and
steady,
come
what
may
With
a
positive
spirit,
you
touched
every
soul
Making
the
broken
parts
of
us
whole
Nna,
we
celebrate
the
life
you
lived
For
all
the
precious
love
you
gave
and
give
Chai!
See
how
a
man
should
stand
so
tall
Facing
the
wind
and
refusing
to
fall
He
looked
at
the
world
with
a
hopeful
eye
Even
when
the
clouds
gathered
in
the
sky
Omo,
he
taught
us
to
keep
our
heads
high
To
be
sincere
under
the
sun
and
the
dry
No
shortcuts
taken,
no
shadows
cast
He
built
a
foundation
made
to
last
Oh,
John
Nnofueme,
you
showed
us
the
way
Upright
and
steady,
come
what
may
With
a
positive
spirit,
you
touched
every
soul
Making
the
broken
parts
of
us
whole
Nna,
we
celebrate
the
life
you
lived
For
all
the
precious
love
you
gave
and
give
Oya,
let
the
horns
blow
soft
and
deep
For
the
promises
that
you
chose
to
keep
From
the
east
to
the
west,
your
story
flows
Like
a
garden
where
the
finest
wisdom
grows
Chop
life
with
purpose,
that
was
your
decree
A
beautiful
legacy
for
all
to
see
Your
laughter
echoes
in
the
halls
of
home
Wherever
we
go,
wherever
we
roam
We
carry
the
torch
you
lit
that
day
The
upright
path,
the
narrow
way
Omalicha
man,
your
spirit
stays
near
Clearing
the
fog
and
chasing
the
fear
We
toast
to
the
legend,
we
toast
to
the
truth
The
guide
of
the
elders,
the
hope
of
the
youth
Oh,
John
Nnofueme,
you
showed
us
the
way
Upright
and
steady,
come
what
may
With
a
positive
spirit,
you
touched
every
soul
Making
the
broken
parts
of
us
whole
Nna,
we
celebrate
the
life
you
lived
For
all
the
precious
love
you
gave
and
give
Rest
in
the
peace
that
you
earned
so
well
Your
story
is
one
that
we
love
to
tell
John
Nnofueme,
you
remain
our
light
Shining
so
bright
in
the
middle
of
the
night
Nna,
rest
well.
Chop
life
in
glory.
