Lyrics
[Intro – Piano, Strings, Distant Choir] Hmmmm... We land like breeze... Heart dey beat... Miracle wey nobody fit explain... And one day... We go waka... Like say na magic. But maybe... We no really waka finish. [Verse 1] We enter this world, eyes dey open wide, No sabi where the road go carry us go. We learn to love, We learn to dream, We see the beauty life fit show. We gather moments, Gather laughter, Gather stories we dey call our own. But nobody fit hold forever The things we think say na our own. [Pre-Chorus] River dey flow dey go, Seasons dey come and go, But love dey leave trace everywhere, Long after we let go. [Chorus] 🌍 We dey live... And then we waka... But love dey remain behind. Like sunlight for water, Like memories for mind. We dey live... And then we waka... But nothing wey we love dey lost. Every heart wey we touch with kindness Carry part of us dey cross. [Verse 2] Some go early, Some stay longer, Some journeys dey short well well. And every soul don sabi the sorrow Of grief wey nobody fit measure. Mama tears, Papa silence, Empty chair, Missing voice. The pain dey remind us how deep We don rejoice before. [Pre-Chorus] Because the depth of every goodbye Show the depth of every hello. And every end dey teach us How beautiful to know. [Chorus] 🌍 We dey live... And then we waka... But love dey remain behind. Like starlight for dark, Like songs wey time no fit end. We dey live... And then we waka... But nothing wey we love dey lost. Every heart wey we touch with kindness Carry part of us dey cross. [Bridge] Maybe life and death no be enemy. Maybe na two pages For the same eternal story. One dey teach us how to come. The other dey teach us how to let go. And between them... We get the chance To love. To build. To forgive. To become. To leave the world Brighter than we meet am. [Final Chorus] 🌍 We dey live... And then we waka... But love dey remain behind. Like candle dey light candle, Without losing its own light. We dey live... And then we waka... But nothing wey we love dey lost. Every smile we give another, Every burden wey we cross. Every dream wey we help wake, Every hand wey we hold strong. Dey live beyond the edge of leaving... And carry us along. [Outro – Choir & Piano Fade] One day... Person go call our name. Person go remember our laugh. Person go tell our story. And somewhere... For life we touch... Part of us go still dey live. Because love no sabi how to die. Hmmmm...
