Nna, listen to the heartbeat
Oh, Dera, my only one
When my mind gets loud, Dera, you’re my quiet
You don’t talk much, but you see right through it
You hold my hand and ask “are you okay?”
And somehow the whole world feels okay
Even in the shadows, you are my light
Walking by my side through the darkest night
Chai, the way you care is a blessing indeed
You are the only medicine that I need
Dera, you’re special to me, more than words can say
You understand me on my good days and my heavy days
I love you so much, in every little way
My calm, my peace, my forever — Dera, it’s you
Oh, Dera, it is always you
You don’t rush me, you don’t change me
You just stay, and you make sure I’m safe
In your calm I found a home
With you I’m never alone
Omalicha, you give me the strength to stand
When life is heavy, you lend me your hand
No wahala when you are standing near
You wash away every single fear
Dera, you’re special to me, more than words can say
You understand me on my good days and my heavy days
I love you so much, in every little way
My calm, my peace, my forever — Dera, it’s you
Oh, Dera, it is always you
If I had to choose again, I’d still choose you
In every lifetime, in everything I do
You are the rhythm, the song in my soul
You make my spirit feel perfectly whole
Omo, the journey is long but you stay true
Every step forward, I’m walking with you
From the morning light to the setting sun
You are the race that I have already won
I cherish the silence, I cherish the grace
Just looking at you, seeing your face
Dera, you’re special to me, more than words can say
You understand me on my good days and my heavy days
I love you so much, in every little way
My calm, my peace, my forever — Dera, it’s you
Oh, Dera, it is always you
My forever, Dera
Just you and me
Chop life with me always
My peace, my Dera
