OLš BACK YARD (Lyrics) In my olš back yard is a coconut tree Where my mamašs fire cooked what I would eat And my papašs hand grew strong in the land Yet my grandpašs poetry gave these words to me Said so clearly hey, hey BRIDGE Give a welcome smile to the world Rise up whenešer you fall Wešll always be here when you call And thatšs not all CHORUS My son, now you were born To be strong in the land Son, now you were born To be strong in the land Upon my youthšs fearful morn A terror storm saw Biafra born Exploding bombs ­ destruction in the air Much spilt blood ­ homeless people everywhere Still the world spinned around And would spin on if we rose or stayed down I closed my eyes ­ my dream arrived As these words carried me to my olš back yard They said BRIDGE and CHORUS In my olš back yard is a coconut tree Where my mamašs fire cooked what I would eat And did so lovingly ­ she said Wešll always be here when you call And thatšs not all CHORUS
