Analysis of EXPLORE
Allotey Joseph 2002 (Accra)
Slowly we move like the snail
Ready on the sea to sail
Discovering new things on earth
Before we are taken away by death
Such a wonderful thing the creator made
Things that will never fade
Until the last generation is over
If you see me leing
Wait till the whole game is over
