(Oya, listen now!)
Esomchi Ofa, our miracle boy
One year down, forever to go, celebrate!
(See gobe!)
It feels like yesterday, the news just landed
We brought you before the Lord, hands expanded
Naming and dedication, the spirit was high
I lifted you up, right under the sky
Everything smooth, God showed His hand
Blessings flowing all over the land
Now you turn one, the journey is sweet
Watching you grow, dancing on your feet
Happy birthday, Esomchi Ofa Elliot-Obina
Our little king, you are the winner
Grow in wisdom, grow in strength and grace
With a smile that lights up every single place
Oh, Esomchi, pride of the family name
Your future is bright, you don’t need no fame
Obinna and Precious, your parents are blessed
With a son like you, they passed every test
Source of our joy, peace in the room
Like a garden flower, ready to bloom
May God’s hand rest upon your head
Ordering the path where you gonna tread
(No dulling!)
Happy birthday, Esomchi Ofa Elliot-Obina

From your Biggest Uncle, sending my love
Asking for guidance from heaven above
Shine brighter each year, fulfil your design
In Christ, your destiny is forever divine
(E choke!)
Favour with men and favour with God
You’ll walk the earth, you won’t look odd
Greatness is calling, you answer the sound
Joy and laughter are always around
One year is done, many more to see
Man of the people, you’re gonna be
(Shey you dey see?)
