Ayy...
Doris, stand tall, eh.
God is in control, Mayo.
Listen...
No brother, no sister, just me and my path
With two little hands, I must shield them from wrath
The one who should stand as their father, he run
Left us in the cold, thought my story was done
But I look to the hills, I no fit look down
Doris is a queen, I dey wear my own crown
Mayo! The storm cannot break what is built on the rock
Every single day, for my children I work
Oh Doris, you are strong, oh, you no go fail!
Through the heavy wind, your ship it go sail!
God bless my mother, God bless my father, oh
For standing with me when there was no other, oh
Natotela, Mayo! We are standing tall
By the grace of God, we no go fall!
They say it is a struggle to walk this alone
But my parents' house is a heavenly throne
They hold up my hands when the load is too great
With love in their hearts, they have opened the gate
The runner has run, but we do not look back
Blessings are flowing, there’s nothing we lack
My children will rise, they will call me their strength
We go walk this road, any height, any length
Oh Doris, you are strong, oh, you no go fail!
Through the heavy wind, your ship it go sail!
God bless my mother, God bless my father, oh
For standing with me when there was no other, oh
Natotela, Mayo! We are standing tall
By the grace of God, we no go fall!
Ayy...
Doris, you be champion, Mayo.
Blessings on my mama, blessings on my papa.
No shaking.
We rise, oh.
Yoh.
