Kofi
Barefoot in those streets – milk and honey
No one wanted more, it felt like plenty
Chalk on all our knees, the days were sunny
All these broken bones were lessons for me;
Don’t chase the money – chase your peace
Don’t be shy to tap your feet
Work with your hands but keep it clean
Share what you have – don’t be mean
Speak when it counts – not just to talk
Know when to fight and when to walk
Be slow to judge – but quick to see
And love yourself – but it’s not that deep
Kofi, wo wer efir a

Kofi, don’t forget

Kofi, don’t forget
Don’t forget
We made goals with blocks on dusty pitches
Didn’t worry about shoes or riches
Humble and content, with endless laughter
We found gold in the dirt with lessons we learnt
Don’t chase the money – chase your peace
Don’t be shy to tap your feet
Work with your hands but keep it clean
Share what you have – don’t be mean
Speak when it counts – not just to talk
Know when to fight and when to walk
Be slow to judge – but quick to see
And love yourself – but it’s not that deep
Kofi, wo wer efir a
