Lyrics

[Intro]
Ohhh do-do-do
Baddest
Ohhh do do do
[Verse 1]
I found the joy
Through all the pain
Through all the pain
I found a sun
Through all the rain
Through all the rain
I found the power
The brand new day
The brand new day
I found the power
The brand new day
The brand new day
[Verse 2]
And I'm awaken
Who I could be through the thick and thin
I'm singing my song
And I'm finding my way again
I won't drown in the sea, and wading in
[Verse 3]
I count my blessings
Ohhhh
Arise from the deep, let the joy within
Ohhhh
I know it's been hard, but I found my way again
Ohhhh
We will never end when we begin
Ohhhh
[Verse 4]
I found my hope
When it was lost
When it was lost
I helped my heart
Out of the dark
Out of the dark
I found the power
The brand new day
The brand new day
I found the power
The brand new day
The brand new day
[Verse 5]
There is a love
I only know
I only know
I found strength
To let hurt go
To let hurt go
I found the power
As you can see
Dem no believe
Girl, you come forward
Come dey with me
Living lavishly
[Refrain]
Ohhh do-do-do
Ohhh do-do-do
Ohhh do-do-do
Ohhh do-do-do
Ohhh do-do-do
Ohhh do-do-do
Ohhh do-do-do
Ohhh do-do-do
Ohhh
[Outro]
Ifẹ ni aye oh
L'aye si ni ifẹ rere ọkan oh
Ifẹ ni aye oh
Irora kan ko le fara pa mi o
Do-do-do
Ẹ wa jade
Ọmọ eniyan ẹ wa
Aye si, aye si
Aye si ni ifẹ ire ọkan mi o
Baddest
