Ken Ogbozor & Durham Anugwom:
blood sisters and soul brothers)

Come with me under this shadow
Cast by love and let us
Take refuge from the cynicism
Of the world.

Come, let me teach you love. Let
Us discover love in the flirtatious rays
Of the morning sun,
And in the quiet of a brook.

Under the midnight moon
Let us discover love and beauty.
In the din of a riotous humanity
Let us discover each other.

Come. Let me teach you love
For I can feel it surging in your heart
Seeking an outlet. Let me
Knock down that dam that love may flow

And like the oceans
Bring us sustenance and discoveries.
In the din of a riotous humanity
Let us discover each other.

Come under this shadow.
Let us give each to each a love
Perfect and complete, that our love may be
The toast of angels in heaven.
