Verse 1:
When I was walking in the dark with no light
You held the lamp, you stood by my side
No be say I get money for hand
But you showed up, you say "Mo wà pẹ̀lú ẹ"
I no go forget the day hunger knock
You shared your last, no talk, no mock
If not for grace, if not for men
And Olúwa wey dey guide my steps
I for don tumble, I for don fall
Adúpẹ́ l'ọ́wọ́ ẹni t'ó rán mi lọ́wọ́
Chorus:
Modúpẹ́, modúpẹ́, from the depth of my soul
To every hand wey lift me up when I was low
Modúpẹ́, modúpẹ́, to God and man alike
Blessing dey flow when grateful heart dey inside
Ẹni tí a ṣe lóore, kò gbọdọ̀ gbàgbé
Because one good turn deserves another, ẹ jẹ́ ká rí bẹ́ẹ̀
Verse 2:
Some dey help you, you pay them with stone
You bite the finger wey feed your bone
You laugh at kindness, call it mumu
Now the wells don dry, who you go run to?
Àìmoore ti pa ọ̀pọ̀lọpọ̀ ọwọ́ dá
Generous hearts now hide, afraid of your harm
You collect with smile, then turn to fight
Na so you quench the helper’s light
But me, I choose a different road
I go dey thank God, I go thank man
Every ladder wey carry me up, I go hold with two hands
Chorus
Modúpẹ́, modúpẹ́, from the depth of my soul
To every hand wey lift me up when I was low
Modúpẹ́, modúpẹ́, to God and man alike
Blessing dey flow when grateful heart dey inside
Ẹni tí a ṣe lóore, kò gbọdọ̀ gbàgbé
Because one good turn deserves another, ẹ jẹ́ ká rí bẹ́ẹ̀
Verse 3:
Mo dúpẹ́ lọ́wọ́ Olúwa, King of all kings
For life, for breath, for the little things
Mo dúpẹ́ lọ́wọ́ ẹ̀yin ẹ̀dá, brothers wey no fake
You see me empty, you chose to make
Gratitude no dey reduce your pride
E n gbe ọ lọ sókè, e n tan ìmọ́lẹ̀ sí ọ̀nà
When we say "thank you", heaven dey open more
When we say "e se", doors no dey close
So if person help you, small or great
Dákun, pay with honor, no be hate
Make your "thank you" water the ground
So more blessings fit grow around
Final Chorus
Adúpẹ́, adúpẹ́, from the depth of my soul
To every hand wey lift me up when I was low
Adúpẹ́, adúpẹ́, to God and man alike
Blessing dey flow when grateful heart dey inside
Ẹni tí a ṣe lóore, kò gbọdọ̀ gbàgbé
Kí ìkà má ba pa inú olùrànlọ́wọ́
Modúpẹ́ ni mo máa máa kọ, títí dé òpin ayé
