A warrior
That’s what you are
Never defeated
You’ll continue to go far
Battling on the field
Especially on Sundays
Regardless of snow, rain, wind,
Or even
Always a winner
No matter what the scoreboard says
The battle already won
Cause it began and was done
When he kneeled and prayed
With God on his side
He cannot be defeated
No weapons can prosper
That’s why his name is repeated
Akinola
