Theme song composed for "The Narrow Path", a movie by Nigeria's foremost filmmaker, Tunde Kelani (based on a novel by notable academic, writer and bibliophile, Dr. Bayo Adebowale). The story revolves around Awero a young lady defiled before her all-important wedding night and thus made subject to scorn and reproach from society. Awero, the broken pot, becomes the reason for war between two towns, and is nearly driven to suicide by shame and depression. The story concludes with Awero's eventual redemption and the return of peace between all the antagonists.
"The broken pot becomes a resident of the garbage dump
Lightning strikes the aged trees, horror encircles the village
If you get to Orita town, please give my regards to delectable Awero
The endearing damsel desired by every man..."
