Na Vanua oqo

by the late Emani Naivanawalu |
..
A song, a cry, a prayer that was birthed in a time of dissention and strife.. he penned down his cry to the Lord, for repentance and a longing to commit his beloved land back to its maker.
.
this was a song i heard once as a child at his funeral, and it resounded in my spirit.. ive always wanted to find this song but only recently a friend of my dads both he and my father fellow colleagues of uncle Emani played a guitar version and i began the quest again. i believe it was hidden for such a time as this, when a prayer call needs to rise from the worshippers and people of Fiji to song this prayer on behalf of our nation.
