About this episode
New Dawn
Kyeremah
Smile on me,
the Sun is awakening.
Yesterday and today left no crumbs
We begin from there.
I won't tell you how to live
But be happy,
be happy
One step at a time
Love, eat and pray
Give thanks and make merry.
Today will be gone
So will you, someday
But what will matter
Is that you lived well.
So be happy,
be happy.
