Return to Zango

Let fear dominate you not
For the greatest enemy is fear itself
Have control over thy fears
Your fields are screaming for care
Your homes longing for thy pres-
ence
Your dead feeling quite deserted
Return to Zango with no fears
As the injured one
Have no fear
Truth is stronger than outlandish claims
let the hyena know the lamb's innocence
spelt no frailty
As in innocence lurk greater power
Who displays force but the weak
Afraid silent he may be though weak.
