Still Standing Strong

Hmm... Chukwu...

This pain e dey heavy oh

I lost my papa when I still dey small

E no even teach me how man suppose to dey tall

My brodas dem go, my uncles follow

Now na only me, this pain I dey swallow

Sometimes I dey cry for inside my room

I dey ask why, why this be my doom

But I know say dem dey watch me from above

Still I miss their laughter, I miss their love

Even though the tears dey fall like rain

Even though this heart full of pain

I go stand, I go rise again

For my people wey don go, I go carry their name

Omo I don suffer, I don feel the flame

But their spirit dey guide me through the shame

I go stand, I go rise again

Still standing strong, standing strong

Depression wan hold me, e wan drag me down

Sometimes I no fit even leave my compound

But I remember wetin my papa talk

Say "my pikin, for this life you go walk"

Na their memory dey give me reason to fight

Even when the darkness cover my light

I know say one day, this pain go fade

And I go smile again for the life wey dem made

Even though the tears dey fall like rain

Even though this heart full of pain

I go stand, I go rise again

For my people wey don go, I go carry their name

Omo I don suffer, I don feel the flame

But their spirit dey guide me through the shame

I go stand, I go rise again

Still standing strong, standing strong

To everyone wey don lose somebody

You no dey alone, I dey feel your body

We go stand... we go rise again

Chukwu dey...
