(Oya, ginger!)
(See my girl, you represent!)
(The world is waiting for your light)
I see the books stacked high upon your desk
You study late, you put yourself to test
I know the road is long, the climb is steep
But you’ve got promises that you must keep
Don't let the pressure weigh upon your soul
You are a star, you're playing for the goal
Keep on pushing, don't you dare look back
Stay on the path, you’re hitting every track
(E choke!)
Rise and shine, my darling, rise and shine
Your future’s looking bright, it’s looking fine
Odogwu girl, you’re made of royal gold
A story of success is being told
Rise and shine, push forward with your grace
You’re running hard to win this noble race
(You are the greatest!)
When exams are hard and tiredness dey show
Remember all the seeds you chose to sow
Your brain is sharp, your focus is the key
Believe in everything that you can be
No wahala if you stumble on the way
Just stand back up and own another day
My pride, my joy, the pride of my own name
You’re leveling up, you’re changing up the game
(No dulling!)
Rise and shine, my darling, rise and shine
Your future’s looking bright, it’s looking fine
Odogwu girl, you’re made of royal gold
A story of success is being told
Rise and shine, push forward with your grace
You’re running hard to win this noble race
Knowledge is the power that you hold in your hand
Take it to the sky, take it through the land
No limits on the height that you can climb
Everything is happening in its own time
(On God!)
Rise and shine, my darling, rise and shine
Your future’s looking bright, it’s looking fine
Odogwu girl, you’re made of royal gold
A story of success is being told
Rise and shine, push forward with your grace
You’re running hard to win this noble race
Yeah, you shine bright
Like a diamond in the night
My daughter, you’re the best
You passed every single test
(See gobe, you represent!)
(Rise and shine!)
(We rise!)
