Hunioco - Annie Haslam

Dawn light brings a tropic day above the trees

Old man gazing to the hills awaits

Proud boy, lion hearted, comes a hundred miles

Follow the sun, soon you’ll be welcomed home

Hunioco

They sing througout the land

The boy becomes a man

Now he may take his fathers hand

Hunioco

They sing througout the land

The boy becomes a man

Now he may take his fathers hand

Drums call, village voices ring around the shore

Rain falls as they cast their nets to sea

Young girls singing songs to bring the boy’s return

Look for the sun soon to be welcomed home

Hunioco

They sing througout the land

The boy becomes a man

Now he may take his fathers hand

Hunioco

They sing througout the land

The boy becomes a man

Now he may take his fathers hand

(African)

Night falls as the people gather round the fire

Young men in their festive roles will dance

Echoes from the hills repeat their loud rejoice

Follow the sun now he is welcome home

Hunioco

They sing througout the land

The boy becomes a man

Now he may take his fathers hand

(African Chorus)

Hunioco

They sing througout the land

The boy becomes a man

Now he may take his fathers hand

(African)
