(Mmm, yeah)
It’s been a lifetime, baby
And I’m still here with you
It started back in Calabar, those youthful days
Lost in the rhythm of the city’s haze
From Bori roads to Eket’s quiet shore
I never knew I was walking through your door
Nearly thirty years of knowing your face
Two decades lost in time and space
But the universe has a way, it’s true
To find the path that leads me back to you
Ikemefuna Okwesa, my heart is your home
No matter how far or how long I roam
Ikemefuna, you’re the treasure I found
My love for you, it knows no bound
Oh, Ikemefuna Okwesa, yeah, it’s always you
Now we’re here in Lagos, the lights are shining bright
But you’re the only star I see tonight
I watched you grow, heard the calling in your soul
Watching you serve God makes me feel whole
A servant’s heart, yeah, that’s what I crave
You’re the anchor in the love that we save
Come here, baby, let me hold you close
It’s the quiet moments that I love the most
Ikemefuna Okwesa, my heart is your home
No matter how far or how long I roam
Ikemefuna, you’re the treasure I found
My love for you, it knows no bound
Oh, Ikemefuna Okwesa, yeah, it’s always you
Twenty years apart but the flame didn't die
I see the promise in your humble eye
It’s a miracle, a story written in the stars
I’m healing all the distance and all the scars
(I need you, baby, mmm)
So let the years go by, I don’t mind the wait
Love like this is sealed by a higher fate
From city to city, our love has evolved
Every mystery of my heart has been solved
Ikemefuna, you’re the king of my peace
A love like this will never cease
Ikemefuna Okwesa, my heart is your home
No matter how far or how long I roam
Ikemefuna, you’re the treasure I found
My love for you, it knows no bound
Oh, Ikemefuna Okwesa, yeah, it’s always you
Yeah, it’s always you, Ikemefuna
My treasure, my heart, my soul
I love you, oh
(Always you, baby)
