I KNOW OF A COUNTRY - Obi Gospel O.

 
I know of a country
With men as in a quiver
Whose aim is to live in mastery
But very few to woo her

I know of a country
With food as of plenty
And a desire to live above peasantry
But very many are still in empty

I also know of a country
Where life daily seems a call
Like that of men in the monastery
But weak strings to bind it all

I know of this country
That in passion are so raw
When spurred hard to pursue victory
Can never be left in the straw
