Grateful Sway
(Alhamdulillah...) (Mmm, yeah)
Wake up early morning,
dew upon me shoe,
Wetin man go do when the road no clear for you?
I hold me small dream tight inside me chest,
Even when belly empty,
spirit find a rest.
Strangers pass me by like I be ghost for street,
Rain ah fall,
but stone ah warm beneath me feet.
One elder tap me shoulder,
tell me,
"Pikin, hear,
Na the winding road go take you far from fear."
I no get gold,
I no get key for door,
But wetin de inside me belly worth a whole lot more.
(worth so much more)
No man can lock the sky away from me.
I’m a wandering man with a home in my heart,
(Alhamdulillah) Found a little flame when the night was dark.
Got love like a river and faith in my chest,
Underneath the open sky my soul find rest.
No four walls, but I am not alone,
Whole wide world na me place called home.
(Shukran lillah)
Yeah, I got a home in my heart.
I count every blessing pass the coins inside me tin,
Rain ah wash the dust,
make the brand new day begin.
Old woman share her bread,
hot tea inside a cup,
Say, "Wetin break you yesterday go lift you up." Me mind de
free, no heavy chain de hold me down,
Walk with humble pride through this busy town.
Every corner, every tree,
na sanctuary now.
So I walk with head up high through sun and storm,
‘Cause a spirit without ceiling stays forever warm.
(stays forever warm) Can't take this peace away from me.
One road,
one sun, one breath we take, (Bismillah)
Every step na promise we no fit break.
If love de inside,
you no de walk alone,
Every soil beneath your feet na holy stone.
(Holy stone, yeah)
I’m a wandering man with a home in my heart,
(Alhamdulillah) Found a little flame when the night was dark!
Got love like a river and faith in my chest,
Underneath the open sky my soul find rest.
No four walls, but I
am not alone, Whole wide world na me place called home.
(Shukran lillah) Yeah, I got a home in my heart!
Home no de far...
Na the love inside,
na him be home.
(Alhamdulillah) Peace upon the road.
