Sumo mi o, wa o (draw nearer, come)
Wa dimi mu (hold on to me)
Ma boju weyin (don’t look back)
Ayo re kosi nibe (your joy is not there)
Asan ni lati sare tele afefe aiye yi (it is in vain to chase the cares of this world)
Sa maabo ko tele mi (follow me)
Emi nikan ni ona otito (I am the way)
Sa ma bo ko tele mi (follow me)
Emi ni ore otito (I am a true friend)

Alafia mbo wa (nigba) soki, soki, soki
(Peace is coming soon)
Ibere koni dabi opin (The beginning will not be like the end)
Nigba ikenyin awa yo bori (In the end we will overcome)
Ko ma lo o jeje o jeje o (Just keep on going calmly)
Lati sisin yi lo duro pelu okan ireti (From now on wait with a heart of expectation)
Lati sisin yi lo okan igbago ni tire (From now on a heart of faith is yours)

Written by Michael & Alicia Olatuja © 2010 Olatuja music ASCAP
Tell me who can guide
Tell me who can save
Who can give unspeakable joy
I know his name
I have a friend who never fails
The giver of life abundantly
Who says the word and it will be
Pa ṣe o baba (say the word Father)
Eyin lorisun iye (you are the source of life)
Pa ṣe o baba (say the word Father)
Ranti ileri re (remember your promise)
Ta lo le sa mona (who can guide)
Ta lo le gbani (who can save)
Ta lo le fun wa layo ninu ile aiye (who can give us joy in this world)
Mo lore kan soso ti ki ndoju tini (I have a friend who never fails)
Oun ni kan lorisun iye (the source of abundant life)
Oba alaṣe (a sovereign king)
Iye ode o Iye (life in abundance has come)

Sunrise

Written by Michael & Alicia Olatuja © 2010 Olatuja music ASCAP
Right before your eyes
Dreaming in waking life
Time is passing by
A new day in the sunrise
Wanting more than you can see
Longing for what is to be
Reaching for a destiny that holds a new reality

Hold Me

Written by Michael & Alicia Olatuja © 2010 Olatuja music ASCAP
Softly you whisper visions
Renewing life, reviving spirit, restoring dreams
Slowly, shadows become reality
Never mind what he said
Never mind what she did
Now it’s just you and me
So hold me, hold me, hold me, hold me
Ile ya o wa o (come, it’s home time)
I never knew self-promises in secret
Were untold, unspoken and unpredictable
Fairy tales and rhyming riddles never held the words of
Never heard before us the story of you and me
I would have never believed
I‘d wake up every morning next to a dream
Spent so many years afraid to breath
My eyes were always open but now I see
Come closer don’t shy away
Your eyes cry a mystery your lips will only whisper
And heaven know how long we’ve waited
For destiny to dance hand in hand with life’s melody
Ile ya, ile ya o, wa o (it’s home time, come it’s home time)

You live your life in memories
Standing still in your mind
Keep your eyes straight ahead
Looking on not behind
Sa re wa sibi apata (run to the rock)
Ibe lemi wa (that’s where I am)
As long you press to the end you will finish strong
Keep holding on
And if ever you feel it’s too long
I’ll carry you on
Moving forward
You lie awake in a sea of dreams
Your glory days so long gone
Your destiny was not yesterday
So keep your feet moving up
One in front of the other you’ll see
All is possible so run to me
For now and forever I’ll be
So let it go and just believe

Boju woke (lift up your eyes)
Kilori (what do you see)
Lapa mi ni ire ayo (in my arms is abundant joy)
Wa sodo mi (come to me)
Imisi wa ni be (inspiration is there)
Agbara wa ni be (power is there)
Ibukun wa nibe (blessing is there)
Igbega wa nibe (increase is there)
