Lyrics

[Intro – Piano, Strings, Distant Choir]

Hmmmm...

We land like breeze...

Heartbeat...

Miracle wey nobody fit explain...

And one day...

We go waka...

Just like mystery.

But maybe...

We no really waka finish.

[Verse 1]

We enter dis world with open eye,
No sabi where the road go lead.

We learn to love,
We learn to dream,
We see the beauty life fit give.

We gather moments,
Gather laughter,
Gather stories we call our own.

But nobody fit keep forever
The things we think say we own.

[Pre-Chorus]

The river still dey flow,
Seasons dey come, dem dey go,

But love dey leave mark everywhere,
Long after we don let go.

[Chorus]

🌍 We dey live...

And then we waka...

But love dey remain.

Like sunlight for water,
Like memory for brain.

We dey live...

And then we waka...

But nothing wey love dey lost.

Every heart we touch with kindness
Carry part of us go.

[Verse 2]

Some waka early,
Some stay longer,
Some journey dey too short.

And every soul don sabi the sorrow
Of big, big grief.

Mama tears,
Papa silence,
Empty chair,
Missing voice.

The pain remind us how much
We once rejoice.

[Pre-Chorus]

'Cause the deepness of every goodbye
Show the deepness of every hello.

And every end dey teach us
How beautiful e be to know.

[Chorus]

🌍 We dey live...

And then we waka...

But love dey remain.

Like starlight for darkness,
Like song wey pass time.

We dey live...

And then we waka...

But nothing wey love dey lost.

Every heart we touch with kindness
Carry part of us go.

[Bridge]

Maybe life and death no be enemies.

Maybe dem be two pages
For the same everlasting story.

One teach us how to come.

The other teach us how to go.

And between dem...

We get the chance

To love.

To build.

To forgive.

To become.

To leave the world
Brighter than we find am.

[Final Chorus]

🌍 We dey live...

And then we waka...

But love dey remain.

Like candle wey dey light candle,
Without losing im own light.

We dey live...

And then we waka...

But nothing wey love dey lost.

Every smile we give another,
Every burden wey we cross.

Every dream we help wake,
Every hand wey we hold tight.

Dey 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.

'Cause love no sabi how to die.

Hmmmm...
