Analysis of The Native song.



The gifted sound of agidigbo touches my soul,
Strings like calm river flows my vein,
Softly lyrics of my hometown tales cluster my mind,
My native home here I come.

Like a baby in a safe hand I swing my head,
My love from the other side wonders what amazes,
Slowly as the music sounds I tell my story.
