Lyrics

[Chorus]
Pull the rope
Let’s pull the rope
Even though we’re eager
To pull the trigger
Let’s pull the rope
Together we hope
Let’s pull the rope
Let’s pull the rope
Even though we’re eager
To pull the trigger
Let’s pull the rope
Together we hope
[Verse 1]
Kpokom idaha
Edi did ikang
Kpokom idaha
Edi did ikang
Afri nyin yak idud udug
Yak idid udug
Afri nyin yak idud udug
Yak idid udug
[Chorus]
Let’s pull the rope
Let’s pull the rope
Even though we’re eager
To pull the trigger
Let’s pull the rope
Together we hope
Let's pull the rope
Let's pull the rope
Even though we're eager
To pull the trigger
Let's pull the rope
Together we hope
[Verse 2]
Weave me a rope tight enough
To pull me through these times
Long to hold
High to climb
This na life the higher we go
This na life the higher we go
This na life the higher we go
This na life the higher we go
[Chorus]
Let’s pull the rope
Let’s pull the rope
Even though we’re eager
To pull the trigger
Let’s pull the rope
Together we hope
Let's pull the rope
Let's pull the rope
Even though we're eager
To pull the trigger
Let's pull the rope
Together we hope
