Estuary Roll,
Brook Babble on,
Spring Well,
Esubonteng Swell,
River:
That the seasons and the climes and the times, Cannot rule or touch or define or confine,
Never run dry,
Run River,
Never Cease Running,
Run,
Spirit of the Free,
Never cease to be a Well,
A  deep Source of restoration of faith,
And strength and sinew of heart,
And  renewal of hope,
And  mind,
And spirits,
Let  those who find your channels in the nation,
Or in humanity,
Drink,
And possess faith,
And heart,
And hope,
And spirit,
In your channels,
Nsruma,
Child of the Sky,
Son of Heaven,
They drink a wine that never goes flat,
A reviving spring runs,
Ever Bubbling,
Forever Fizzing,
Forever Effervescent,
For renewal of hopes and mind and spirits,
Minstrel sing,
Minister to to the need of soul,
And the Soul of our Nation,
And the Heart of Humanity,
Pluck your strings,
Strike a cord with my psyche,
Strike your hearty keys,
Overrun me with peace,
Play your notes that has enchanted the nation and the world,
Work your agreeable sounds into my depths,
Work the magic of your music,
Work your magic with my heart,
Deliver the healing that music communicates to the soul,
Maestro perform your wonders,
Work your magic in our souls,
Master,
Work the miracle with the human condition,
O Miracle Berry,
Bury the bitter herb we eat with your glowing sweetness,
Sweet music soaring on the breeze you're welcome
Put merriness in our lives,
Let the currents of your voice,
Awaken spirit in my soul,
Let the power of your music,
Bring up the fire in our hearts,
Let your wonders rouse health in our minds,
And run the channels of our lives with the riches of the human spirit,
Your musical notes,
Your magical tones,
Your lovely songs,
Your music,
Lively,
Sweet and soulful,
Hold your spirit,
You are alive,
In the sounds your strings,
In the notes of your works,
In the pulsations your music undulating in this  hall,
We hear and feel with our hearts your  spirit,
You live,
Candle that the Wind cannot blow out,
Burn,
Flame that the thunder of the Lion cannot put out,
Nor he Hand of Iron crush,
Burn,
Fibre work our Fabric,
Fire ride out the Winds,
Burn Fire!
Fire burn Forever!
Forever in our hearts,
Forever in our minds,
Forever in Nation,
Forever in the Generations,
Forever in the World,
Forever in the Heart of God,
Burn,
Fire Burn,
Fire Burn,
Burn Fire!
I look up in the Sky,
And see!
A diamond waving down at us,
And a star that defined a time,
And a season,
Blazes high above the Land,
Sheding light on the Nation.
