The stars were out, brightly shinning
The moon smiled at them as they left Kirika-Nkoro
In the midnight as they paddled to Iwama-Nkoro
Across the sea splashes of the waves were heard
Fishes criss-crossing, inviting the fisher men at sea.
The thunder struck, lightening flashed!
Oju dared to cross the sea, the turbulent sea
Papa, “no we can’t cross”, Tony, resounded
They crossed the angry waves, the boat capsized
Oju died, yes he died in the sea
Tony swarm, little Tony swarm
The mangroves embraced, cuddled him
Wiped his falling tears
The mangroves housed him, carried him on her laps!
He went through pains and strains, the anguish and languish
Over his lost father Oju, although he was saved, He was alive,
Tony was celebrated! The mangroves save him
Save the mangroves, rescue the sea creatures in the creeks
