about
The title track opens the record, its imagery reflecting people rejoicing upon the receipt of good news: “The promise fulfilled/The veil removed/As it was written/The bond renewed/The One has come to heal the soul/Through every word of a story told.” An important feature of the song is the gan-gan (talking drum), the premier drum of Nigeria. It’s played with a hook-shaped, wooden drumstick held by the right hand and the fingers of the left. The lead-talking drum in Nigerian music is known for quoting moral proverbs that have been passed down from generation to generation.
The promise fulfilled
The veil removed
As it was written
The bond renewed
The One has come to heal the soul
Through the every word of a story told
Iyanu ti de o (The Miracle has come)
Onise iyanu (a miracle worker)
Awamaridi ni (it surpasses all understanding)
Oti sele, iyanu (it has come to pass, Miracle)
The gift of life offered to all
An open heart can hear the call
The voice of a miracle
The song resounds
A melody of hope on fertile ground
Onise iyanu (a miracle worker)
Awamaridi ni (it surpasses all understanding)
