Find Your Way Back by Sophia Lenore
Month after month God’s original people depart from the Motherland towards the Western world with hopes for a better life.
Yet do they find their way back?
Or wrestle with internal strife?
To exit the cradle of life means you will die a slow cultural death.
But Beyonce said her Daddy used to tell her “Look up at the stars” it’s been a long time but remember who you are.
So we just gotta find our way back.
It’s a big, big world so don’t stray too far – just find your way back.
Alkebulan’s find your way back.
Find your way back…
