Analysis of Falling wall
ADEGBITE EMMANUEL 2000 (OSUN STATE)
Oh! my falling wall
hopefull and hopeless is thee
Robbers and security guard thee
Oh! my falling wall
Liars and deceivers come thy way
No one to return thy glory,
moulders are killed, robbed of truth
There comes in unknown
time great brick,
to mould thee
Oh! my falling wall
Here comes Ezra, Nehemiah
Jeremiah
to return thy glory
Which Nebuchadnezzar and Jezebel
have defeated
May there be security and peace
in thee again
May Ezra, Nehemiah and Jeremiah
be filled with power to restructure thee
To return thy strength and honour
far and near
Oh! thy glory that lieth as leopard
waiting for power, glory, and honour
Oh! may thy ancestors curse
be wiped off
To rebuild, strengthen, and glorify thee
Oh! my falling wall.
