Aloyo has uncle, the uncle has a drum I will make sure it's okay to bring it into school She's absolutely stunning, she's nearly six feet tall She is a refugee from The Sudan Apparently they learn to play by the age of three I imagine in the camps there's little else for them to day It's amazing how she seems to have the rhythm built right in I hope she's not too shy to sing Come now, play now, everyone pipe down I have no gift to bring to lay before this land to honour my new home I am They struggle with their English but Aloyo's taken leaps Considering that when she came she hardly spoke a word But it's always confusing, one minute she's withdrawn The next she'll be up dancing with Eileen I hope that she'll remember, I think it's bound to fade Her mother has remarried outside her language But if there's a recording, could we get a copy please? I've got to play it back when she's 15 For now, could you please tell the class she's ready to practice I have this gift to bring, to lay before our land To honour our new home I am
