Lyrics

Over oceans where they feared to fly
Hopeful hands carried my life
Now I'm staring at the past that's waving from the riverside Is this paradise?
Scatter me where I am sure to grow
Cover me in auguries of loves I'll know
The water you will drink (Amenaghawon)
Will not pass you by (Elesomwaen)
U gha setin mie egbe we vbeguae?
Did you ever find it on the open road?
Is this what you pictured when you gave up home?
Mother, I am weary when I should be free
Father, will you show me what you saw in me?
Scatter me where I am sure to grow
Cover me in auguries of loves I'll know
The water you will drink (Amenaghawon)
Will not pass you by (Elesomwaen, elesomwaen)
U gha setin mie egbe we vb'eguae? Oh
Whenever you wake up, that is your morning love
Eghe na ya hiorre owie
Whenever you wake up, that is your morning love
Eghe na ya hiorre owie
Whenever you wake up, that is your morning love
Eghe na ya hiorre owie
Whenever you wake up, that is your morning love
Eghe na ya hiorre owie
The water you will drink
Will not pass you by
U gha setin mie egbe we vb'eguae?
Ai mi' eghe na ya mose, na ya mi' omwan mose ma
Eki n' a dese era rrie re
Uyin mw' omwan o r' o rri' omwan ma
Eki n' u do vb'owie ota ara rrie re
