It's Endy O… yeah. Ị bụ ihe niile m nwere.
This is for my family.
VERSE 1 – CHINAZA
Chinaza — Chineke na-aza ekpere m
The day you walked into my life, the sun found a new way to rise
You saw me broken, called me worthy
Ị bụ eze nwanyị m — Ị bụ ụlọ m
Agaghị m ahapụ gị — I will never leave you
Ịhụnanya m nye gị enweghị njedebe
CHORUS
Ịhụnanya anyị agaghị akwụsị
It grows like a tree whose roots drink from the river of God
Ọchị agaghị akwụsị n'ụlọ anyị
From morning 'til the evening — we will laugh
From birth 'til forever — we will last
Chineke bụ isi okwu anyị
So we rise — together — unbroken
This family is a promise God has spoken
VERSE 2 – MUNA & AMANDA
Muna — ị bụ ọṅụ m — you are my joy
I remember the first time I held you
You run through this house like laughter on legs
Anaghị m echefu ọchị gị
Amanda — ị bụ amara m — you are my grace
You came and the light shifted to make room for your glow
You are soft where I am rough
Ị na-eme ka m chọọ ịka mma
Agaghị m ahapụ unu — I will never leave you
Ị ga-etolite n'ọṅụ — ọ bụghị n'egwu
CHORUS
Ịhụnanya anyị agaghị akwụsị
It grows like a tree whose roots drink from the river of God
Ọchị agaghị akwụsị n'ụlọ anyị
When Muna tells her jokes — we will laugh
When Amanda dances — we will laugh
When Chinaza rolls her eyes — I will laugh the loudest
Chineke bụ isi okwu anyị
So we rise — together — unbroken
This family is a promise God has spoken
VERSE 3 – SIDEH
Sideh — ị bụ onyinye m na-eche
I have not seen your face, but I already love you
Ị bụ nwa m tupu ị mụọ
I promise to be the father you deserve
Bịa n'udo — come in peace
Ebe anyị nọ bụ ebe ị nwere ike ịkpọ ụlọ
Agaghị m ahapụ gị — I will never leave you
BRIDGE
Gee m ntị, ezinụlọ m — listen to me, my family
I am not a perfect man, but I will never stop choosing you
M ga-enye unu ihe niile unu chọrọ
Not just money — my time, my presence, my heart
M ga-echebe unu — I will protect you
M ga-anọ — I will stay
Agaghị m agba ọsọ — I will not run
Ị bụ ihe nketa m — You are my inheritance
CHORUS – FINAL
Ịhụnanya anyị agaghị akwụsị
It grows like a tree whose roots drink from the river of God
Ọchị agaghị akwụsị n'ụlọ anyị
From morning 'til the evening — we will laugh
From birth 'til forever — we will last
Chineke bụ isi okwu anyị
So we rise — together — unbroken
This family is a promise God has spoken
OUTRO
One day we will sit on the porch as the sun sets slowly
Muna grown, Amanda with her stories, Sideh tall and strong
Chinaza still with the same smile
Anyị ga-aka nká ọnụ — Anyị ga-echeta ọnụ — Anyị ga-achị ọchị ọnụ
Ịhụnanya anaghị anwụ — ọ na-agafe n'ọgbọ ruo n'ọgbọ
Chinaza — ị bụ ihe m kachasị mma
Muna — ị bụ ọṅụ m
Amanda — ị bụ amara m
Sideh — ị bụ olileanya m
Ịhụnanya m nye unu enweghị njedebe
Ru mgbe ebighị ebi — Ana m ekwe nkwa
Amen — Ọmen
