Erica’s Joysong

{clean pentatonic highlife guitar riff} Ooo-yeah {shaker percussion enters}

Erica, my beautiful girl {warm log drum swell} You bring the sunshine,

you bring the day

From the moment you came,

you show me the way

My pikin, my blessing,

you shine so bright (ooh-yeah) Everything you do just dey give me

delight {gentle rimshot syncopated pattern}

Erica, I love you so

My sweet girl, I will never let you go

Erica,

I love you so

Everywhere you walk, blessings follow (yes-o) {energetic log drum

pattern, heavy bounce} See as you grow,

making me proud

Your laughter na music,

it dey play so loud

No matter the distance,

no matter the time

Erica, my sweet child,

your star will shine

{mellow synth brass pads}

Erica, I love you so My sweet girl,

I will never let you go

Erica,

I love you so Everywhere you walk,

blessings follow (yes-o)

{energetic

log drum

pattern,

heavy bounce} Erica,

my pride, my love

(ahhh) {guitar solo fading} Blessings follow you always {instruments gradually filter out,

leaving clean guitar and shaker}
