33 Years of Grace

Thirty-three years, my queen

You make me whole, you make me dream

When I was nothing but a struggling boy

You saw potential, you gave me joy

Through medical school when the nights were long

You held me up, you kept me strong

Sista, lover, friend so true

Every degree I got, I owe to you

Your patience sha, your love divine

Made this impossible dream of mine

Come alive, come alive, come alive

My wife, my love, my soul, my heart

Thirty-three years, we don't fall apart

You brought out the best that lived inside

Your perseverance, your grace, your pride

But for you, I couldn't have risen high

Doctor, father, man—you know why

Thirty-three years, you dey my strength

My queen, my life, forever my length

Every sacrifice you made in silence

When I was studying, you brought the balance

No wahala, you just dey stand strong

Through the struggle, we belonged

Your hands lifted me when I would fall

Your voice called me to give my all

My sister in the day, my queen at night

You turned my darkness into light

Omo, see this one oh—see gobe!

My wife, my love, my soul, my heart

Thirty-three years, we don't fall apart

You brought out the best that lived inside

Your perseverance, your grace, your pride

But for you, I couldn't have risen high

Doctor, father, man—you know why

Thirty-three years, you dey my strength

My queen, my life, forever and ever

Thank you for the ginger when I had no hope

Thank you for the love to help me cope

Thank you, my iya, my heart's repose

Thirty-three beautiful years of grace

My wife, my friend, my everything

Forever grateful, forever king

You made me whole
