Daddy Raymond Okpara...
Papa, this is from all six of us
Roy, Olive, Norah, Promise, Dandy and Ella
Thank you, Papa...
You are gentle in your words, trustworthy in your ways
Kind in your heart, every single day
Six children you raised, and you made sure we’re strong
You taught us to be useful, you showed us what’s right
You never let us walk alone
Mr. Raymond Okpara, our daddy, our pride
Your quiet strength has been our guide
Daddy, you are our foundation
You built us with love and patience
You call Mummy Caroline your queen
And you showed us what a real king means
Raymond Okpara, gentle and true
If we live a thousand lives, we’ll still choose you
Our father, our cover, our safe place
We see God’s kindness in your face
Roy, Olive, Norah, Promise, Dandy and Ella
We are standing today because of you, Papa
Through every storm, you were our shade
Through every lack, you made a way
You didn’t have it all, but you gave it all
You put your six children first, no matter what
You call Mama Caroline your queen
And we saw respect in your home, so clean
You taught us honor, you taught us peace
Your love will never, never cease
Papa, we see you...
Every night you prayed for us in secret
Every time you went hungry so we could eat
Heaven sees you too, Daddy
We are grateful for all you do for us
Thank you for making sure all six of us are useful in life
Because of you, we are standing tall today
Okpara Caroline is blessed to have you
And we, your six children, are blessed too
So we pray for long life and prosperity for our daddy
We pray for strength, for health, for joy
Raymond Okpara, may your cup run over
May your latter days be greater than your first
Daddy, you are our foundation
You built us with love and patience
You call Mummy Caroline your queen
And you showed us what a real king means
Raymond Okpara, gentle, kind, and true
If we live a thousand lives, we’ll still choose you
Mr. Raymond Okpara, our father, our light
Thank you for loving us right
Papa... we love you
Roy, Olive, Norah, Promise, Dandy and Ella
Thank you for being our strength
You are our king, forever and ever.
