| It's gently, it's gently It's gently you'll arrive safely home (Ancestral World) It's gently you'll arrive safely home (Ancestral World) Gently It's gently but steadily; the Leopard does not make haste It's gently, gently; the Leopard does not make haste The animal with a tail does not jump over fires Gently In Mawu's hands we are; only He understands our deepest worries In the Creator's Hands we are; only He understands our deepest worries Let us be wary, let us pray Let us be wary, let us pray Even long life cannot escape the Ancestral World (the Afterlife) Even long life cannot escape the Ancestral World (the Afterlife) It's gently you'll arrive safely home (Ancestral World) It's gently you'll arrive safely home (Ancestral World) Gently.
