I was in Abuja, on my way to the airport when this song came to me from nowhere. I mean, from absolutely nowhere.
Its a song from my childhood days and it came to me very suddenly.
Such was the clarity (none of those 'Kai, I dont remember this word') it felt like I was singing it along with other children, only yesterday.
This made me think i just had to share.
There's got to be someone who remembers this song
International Year of the Child/
International Year of the Child/
A year of faith/
A year of hope/
A year of dedication/
1979 we hail thee!/
1979 we hail there!/
Who else remembers? It cant be just me, surely.
And what memories does it stir up for you
