A celebration rise, under skies of gold
For a brother in spirit, a story to be told
Osemudiamen Iyoha, your name is a song
Carried on winds where the righteous belong
Through the halls of our labor, your wisdom shines clear
A beacon of kindness, the one we revere
Like a master composer who perfects every tone
You carry a grace that is purely your own
Osemudiamen, the light of this day
May your path be adorned in a glorious way
With honor and triumph, with joy in your soul
May the years ahead keep you perfectly whole
Osemudiamen, our brother and friend
May this melody follow wherever you wend
Peter Thomas is speaking with pride in his heart
For the bond that we share, from the very first start
I look to your guidance, I value your soul
Your presence is steady, your spirit is whole
You lift up the weary, you stand for the right
A partner in battles, a shield in the night
Osemudiamen, the light of this day
May your path be adorned in a glorious way
With honor and triumph, with joy in your soul
May the years ahead keep you perfectly whole
Osemudiamen, our brother and friend
May this melody follow wherever you wend
Though time may turn the seasons and change the setting sun
The work that you have nurtured has only just begun
Across the grand horizon, the future waits for you
A tapestry of brilliance in every shade and hue
So let the violins gather and let the brass ring out
We cast off the shadows, we banish the doubt
For Osemudiamen, the day is your own
In the kingdom of greatness, youāve earned your own throne
From Peter with fondness, this tribute I send
To a senior, a mentor, and truest of friend
Osemudiamen, the light of this day
May your path be adorned in a glorious way
With honor and triumph, with joy in your soul
May the years ahead keep you perfectly whole
Osemudiamen, our brother and friend
May this melody follow wherever you wend
Osemudiamen, celebrate this light
As the stars crown your day, burning steady and bright
Osemudiamen, Osemudiamen, shine on.
