Are you weary
Never retire
Are you tired
Never retire
Are you heartbroken
Never retire, never retire. never retire

In this jungle called life
You don’t lose hope
You don’t give up
For it is a jungle
You just keep moving
If you retire early
The crowd keeps moving

A minute silence
Everybody moves on
Your parents move on
Your friends move on
Some won't even stand
To say just a word

But why will you retire
Retire so soon
To the great beyond
That beyond beyond
Where men are equal
Where all are equal

Chika retired early
Uchenna retired early
But you see this light
This little light of mine
I will not quench its glow
I will not quench its shine

But why will I quench its glow
Just because I’m struggling
No, it's not an option
Until I get to the end
Yes, to the very end
The end of the tunnel

For one thing, I know
Yes, one thing is certain
Yes, I am certain
That I will never retire
But I will see light
See light, yes, I will
At the end of the tunnel
