Intro (Talking Drum)
Oy'olorun bi mo sen da kojo kojo kojo kojo
oy'olorun
(God sorts out my needs, God sorts me)
Verse 1
It all started like a joke
When we met and made some plans with hope
But they did not work out
Let down but soon things change
Six days to the day I made a lot of noise
Five days left nothing seemed to have been done
Four days now still we had no clue
Three days the sky was no more blue
Two days now everything stood still
A day to the d-day well we're here today
Chorus
Oni loni o, oni lojomi o
(Today is the day, today is my day)
Ma jo ma komole
(I'll dance, I'll get down I'll dance)
ma dupe lowo olorun
(I'll give thanks to God)
T'okunkun ba ti su, se b'owun lon f'ona han wa o
(When it gets dark, is it not God who shows the way)
Efiyin fun baba loke, t'oni wa to da wa si o.
(Give thanks to the father above, He owns us He keeps us)
Verse 2
The colour of the sky was just different
The tree, shrubs and grasses, super green
I look like a queen infact no difference
This day in my head will ever stay green
Showers of blessings are falling down from the sky
Have I told you power was supplied for thr first time (Up NEPA)
I've got every reason to shout and sing
I'm not on a sick bed and can move my lips (Oni o)
Chorus
Oni loni o, oni lojomi o
(Today is the day, today is my day)
Ma jo ma komole
(I'll dance, I'll get down I'll dance)
ma dupe lowo olorun
(I'll give thanks to God)
T'okunkun ba ti su, se b'owun lon f'ona han wa o
(When it gets dark, is it not God who shows the way)
Efiyin fun baba loke, t'oni wa to da wa si o.
(Give thanks to the father above, He owns us He keeps us).
