Village Story
A song made by Jane Kpekpee
Eh... for my people
For my roots, you know
Under the mango tree where I dey grow
Where the sun dey kiss the red earth slow
Grandma stories wey she dey tell us so
The old ways, the good ways, everything I know
Children dey laugh for the compound
Drum dey beat when the moon come down
Simple life but the love profound
This na where my heart dey found
Village life, village pride
Where my people dey reside
No matter where I go, no matter where I hide
My roots dey call me back inside
Village life, village pride
For my home I testify
Morning water from the well so pure
Farmers working, dem dey endure
Community strong, our bond secure
This na the life wey go always cure
Elders blessing under the Iroko tree
Youth dem dancing, spirits running free
This na home, this na where we be
Forever grateful for this legacy
Village life, village pride
Where my people dey reside
No matter where I go, no matter where I hide
My roots dey call me back inside
Village life, village pride
For my home I testify
For my village...
My people, my pride
Ah!
