(Soft humming)
Ehen...
Chief Godfrey, we dey miss you.
Rest in peace, Baba.
The sun rise this morning, but e no shine the same
I look at the portrait, I dey call out your name
Chief Godfrey, the man wey hold the family root
Now the garden quiet, e no get any fruit
I remember the lessons, the words that you spoke
Even when the road rough, you no ever provoke
Oh, Chief Godfrey, you don go too soon
Like the star wey disappear from the middle of the moon
We honor your journey, we honor your name
Though the world dey continue, e no dey the same
Sleep well, Baba, rest in the light
We go hold on to your love, through the day and the night
Your footsteps for compound, I still feel them dey tread
All the wisdom you leave us, e dey inside my head
You be lion in battle, you be peace in the storm
Now you resting in heaven, where the weather is warm
Omo, the weight of this missing, e dey heavy for chest
But I thank the Almighty, for your final rest
Oh, Chief Godfrey, you don go too soon
Like the star wey disappear from the middle of the moon
We honor your journey, we honor your name
Though the world dey continue, e no dey the same
Sleep well, Baba, rest in the light
We go hold on to your love, through the day and the night
No more wahala, no more pain on your side
You done finish the race, with nothing to hide
Go meet your fathers, go join the great crew
Everything we do now, we dey do am for you
Your legacy na diamond, e no fit to fade
We remember the foundation that you carefully laid
So fly high, Chief, go find your repose
From the top of your head, to the tips of your toes
We say goodbye for now, but not forever, my guy
We go see you again, underneath the blue sky
Oh, Chief Godfrey, you don go too soon
Like the star wey disappear from the middle of the moon
We honor your journey, we honor your name
Though the world dey continue, e no dey the same
Sleep well, Baba, rest in the light
We go hold on to your love, through the day and the night
Rest well, Chief Godfrey.
E don do.
We love you, Baba.
