When the day retires to sleep,
And night rouses from its slumber,
I pray in my bed, a solemn prayer,
Asking God, if Ghana is a worthy charge to keep.
When hardworking Ghanaians yield no real returns,
And there remains very little to look forward to,
I pray God's counsel yet again, though hitherto,
I'd have recommended an easier yet sinful turn.
When the change that Ghana seeks,
Are those of waste and vanity,
I pray that so long as the clock ticks,
Time will mend this pronounced insanity.
When many a Ghanaian child,
Defines prosperity in cars and cash,
I pray they see the fleet and stash,
Death incessantly steals into its wild.
When John after John after John
Ghana cannot pride in their shared acts,
I pray we learn nothing of this errant bromance,
And heed the warning to the Corinthians.

When Ghanaian lives are wasting on our ramshackle roads,
And death seems to instruct the wheeling,
I pray my love for traveling,
Does not deliver me at death's crossroads.
When the lives that we see perish,
Are lives that we so cherish,
I pray that we cease not to relish,
Ghanaian souls that are not yet vanquished.
When Ghana means to you,
As much as it means to me,
I pray we finally proceed,
To show Ghana some love too.
