lyrics

Intro:
We give thanks and praises to the most high
For the beauty of life
For love unlimited
For creation
For the ancestors watching over us
To the spirits seen and unseen

Chorus:
Ká máa dúpẹ́ come rain come shine
Ká máa dúpẹ́ come rain come shine
I'm gonna rise, I'm gonna smile
Ká máa dúpẹ́, I'm gonna smile

Verse 1:
I know sometimes beauty’s hard to find
The pressures of life rob your sight and mind
You're down and out there’s no power to fight
No roses in the cracks, no light in the dark
So we crawl on, desperate for love
So we crawl on, hoping for calm and ease

Chorus:
Ká máa dúpẹ́ come rain come shine
Ká máa dúpẹ́ come rain come shine
I'm gonna rise, I'm gonna smile
Ká máa dúpẹ́, I'm gonna smile

Verse 3:
On the horizon there’s a brand new season
A silver lining giving you reason, to triumph
Beyond misfortune and pain
To rise up, so your spirit can gain
From all the lessons learnt the pages burnt
The battles, fought and lost y’all

Chorus:
Ká máa dúpẹ́ come rain come shine
Ká máa dúpẹ́ come rain come shine
I'm gonna rise, I'm gonna smile
Ká máa dúpẹ́, I'm gonna smile

Verse 3:
Ìbà ló yẹ́ k’á ṣe
Ọpẹ́ ló yẹ ká dú
Kò s’óun t'ón bọ̀ l'ókè tí ilẹ̀ ò lè gbà
A pẹ́ kó tó j'ẹun - kò mà ní jẹ ìbàjẹ́
Kò sí bí ìbànújẹ́ ṣe tó ayọ̀ ń’bẹ l’ówúrọ̀
Ayọ̀ n’bẹ l’ówúrọ̀ o

Outro/Chorus:
Ohun k’óhun kò ní tẹ’rí ọkàn mi ba - Ká máa dúpẹ́
Ng ó máa jó ng ó tún máa yọ̀ - Ká máa dúpẹ́
Dúpẹ́ tìẹ, ng ó máa dúpẹ́ t'èmi - Ká máa dúpẹ́
Ninú òfíì ọ̀láà ọmọ pándọ̀rọ̀ wa ń d'àgbà - Ká máa dúpẹ́ e e e
Òkè òkè gogoro la ó máa lọ o - Ká máa dúpẹ́
Ye ee ye ee Ká máa dúpẹ́
