High Chief Richard's Legacy
A song made by Chief Danny Josh
(Talking drum rhythm fades in)
Yeah, we celebrate a king today
High Chief Richard Egbule, you live on
We remember, we rise, we honor you
Early morning sun, the light hits the floor
I still hear your footsteps walking through the door
A man of the people, a man of his word
The greatest of lessons, they still can be heard
From the village to the city, your name held the crown
You never let the spirit or the people feel down
A legacy built on the solidest stone
A father, a brother, a heart like your own
Oh, High Chief Richard, you’re dancing in light
Your memory shines through the darkest of night
High Chief Egbule, the legend we know
In every heart here, your wisdom will grow
Oh, Chief, we celebrate the life that you gave
A path that was noble, honest and brave
I see you in the mirror when I hold my head high
A glint in the eye that will never run dry
You taught me the struggle, you taught me the grace
To move with the rhythm and keep up the pace
No wahala, you told me, just keep on your track
Don't look at the shadows, don't look at the back
We carry your banner, we keep it all true
Everything we do, it traces back to you
Oh, High Chief Richard, you’re dancing in light
Your memory shines through the darkest of night
High Chief Egbule, the legend we know
In every heart here, your wisdom will grow
Oh, Chief, we celebrate the life that you gave
A path that was noble, honest and brave
Though you're gone from the sight, you’re deep in the soul
The piece of the puzzle that makes us feel whole
(Talking drum solo intensifies)
We honor the Chief, we honor the blood
Your love is a river, a beautiful flood
Oh, High Chief Richard, you’re dancing in light
Your memory shines through the darkest of night
High Chief Egbule, the legend we know
In every heart here, your wisdom will grow
Oh, Chief, we celebrate the life that you gave
A path that was noble, honest and brave
Rest well, High Chief
Richard Egbule, sleep on
Your legacy, it stay forever
Odogwu, we celebrate you
(Fade out with soft shekere and piano)
