If one day you see yourself
On the other side of the river
And yourself tells himself
To move on and forgive her

And yourself turns around
And walks into the distance
And you’re left with the sound
Of the inner river’s dance

Will you follow your inner self
Across the river of reflection?
Or will you follow your inner self
In the opposite direction?

Che Chidi Chukwumerije
