The Crown You Wear

(Soft piano chords fading in)

(Gentle acoustic guitar strumming)

My love, my anchor

Can you hear my heart beating?

Across the miles, across the silence

This is for you

Chief Effa Nathaniel Njassor, my king

I know the weight you carry under your wing

The world demands so much of your precious time

But tonight I need you to listen to this rhyme

I see the sweat on your brow when the sun goes down

I see the way you fight to keep up the crown

You provide, you strive, you run the race

I see the exhaustion hidden on your face

I appreciate the toil, every single breath

I’m with you, my darling, through life and through death

Distance is a phantom, it’s nothing but air

My love reaches out, finding you there.

And I will go all out for your success

For your happiness, for your health, for your rest

Even when the phone doesn't ring and the screen stays black

I’m holding the promise, I’m not looking back

Though the silence echoes louder than the rain

I’m washing away all your worry and pain

I am your wife, I am your friend forever

This bond we share, no ocean can sever.

Sometimes I reach out and the echo is hollow

A road full of shadows that I have to follow

When you don't call back, something breaks inside

But my love for you is a constant tide

I want to understand you, the depths of your soul

I want to be the one who makes you feel whole

Tell me your fears, let the walls tumble down

Let me see you behind the strength of the crown

I want to be seen, just as much as I see

Let’s meet in the middle, just you and me

I trust in your heart, in the man that you are

My love travels faster than any bright star.

And I will go all out for your success

For your happiness, for your health, for your rest

Even when the phone doesn't ring and the screen stays black

I’m holding the promise, I’m not looking back

Though the silence echoes louder than the rain

I’m washing away all your worry and pain

I am your wife, I am your friend forever

This bond we share, no ocean can sever.

It’s unconditional, this feeling I hold

More precious than silver, brighter than gold

I honor the journey, I honor your name

I’m keeping the hearth, I’m keeping the flame

One day you’ll see me, the way I see you

And everything broken will start to renew.

And I will go all out for your success

For your happiness, for your health, for your rest

Even when the phone doesn't ring and the screen stays black

I’m holding the promise, I’m not looking back

Though the silence echoes louder than the rain

I’m washing away all your worry and pain

I am your wife, I am your friend forever

This bond we share, no ocean can sever.

I love you, Chief Effa

My best friend, my home

No matter the storm, you’re never alone

I’m right here

Always here

(Fading out with soft strings)
