Asogbon

With

aflame
From

your
light
is
shining
bright
You

us
through
the
shadows
with
your
wisdom
and
your

The

And

Oh,

For

of
true
distinction,
one
beyond

He’

of

with
golden

Celebrate
the
birthday,
let
the
joy
begin
to
flow
With
the
drums
and
with
the
spirit,
watch
the
happiness
grow!
Yes,
we
praise
the
day
you
started
on
this
journey
full
of
grace
There
is
no
one
like
our
brother
in
this
time
and
in
this
place!
Adediwuraola,
your
legacy
is
built
on
love
A
gift
that
comes
descending
from
the
heavens
up
above
Your

is
a
river
that
is
flowing
deep
and
wide
We
are
blessed
to
be
walking
with
you
right
here
by
your
side
Today
we
cut
the
cake
and
we
raise
our
glasses
high
To
the
future,
to
the
visions
that
are
reaching
for
the
sky
Keep
on
pushing,
keep
on
striving,
keep
your
head
held
high
With
the
favor
of
the
master,
you
will
never
pass
us
by!

Talking

Step

Let

pull
you
into
the
light!
Every
clap
is
a

every
beat
is
a

This
is
where
the
greatness
and
the
love
belong!
We
