[male vocals] Nna,
the
road
is
lonely
when
the
heart
makes
a
choice.
Oh,
the
path
is
cold
without
the
ones
who
should
be
there.
My
family
said
no,
they
said
she's
not
the
one
for
me.
They
judged
the
woman
I
chose
to
be
my
wife,
they
could
not
see.
My
father
turned
his
back,
my
mother
turned
and
walked
away.
My
brothers
and
sisters
refused
to
walk
with
me
in
the
light
of
day.
They
said
tradition
forbids
the
love
that
I
hold
inside
my
chest.
They
said
I
brought
them
shame,
they
put
my
spirit
to
the
test.
They
refused
to
follow
me
to
pay
her
bride
price,
left
me
in
the
rain.
I
stood
alone
on
the
road,
bearing
the
weight
of
all
this
pain.
But
when
a
man
finds
his
destiny,
no
custom
can
hold
him
down.
Love
does
not
ask
for
permission
when
your
soul
has
found
its
crown.
I
went
to
my
in-laws
with
just
a
few
friends
by
my
side.
With
no
father,
no
mother,
I
had
nothing
left
to
hide.
Oh,
omo,
love
is
a
heavy
crown
to
wear
all
on
your
own.
But
if
your
heart
is
true,
you
are
never
truly
alone.
They
gathered
their
heads
in
one
room,
whispering
that
the
marriage
must
not
hold.
They
wanted
to
break
the
union,
leave
my
heart
feeling
cold.
But
God
stepped
in
from
above,
a
higher
power
I
cannot
deny.
He
gave
me
a
new
father
and
mother
to
look
me
in
the
eye.
They
held
my
hands
as
I
walked
down
the
aisle
to
my
bride.
He
turned
the
shame
into
honor,
with
nowhere
left
to
hide.
Chai,
the
grace
of
the
Almighty
is
stronger
than
any
human
plan.
He
took
the
broken
pieces
and
made
me
a
complete
man.
But
when
a
man
finds
his
destiny,
no
custom
can
hold
him
down.
Love
does
not
ask
for
permission
when
your
soul
has
found
its
crown.
I
went
to
my
in-laws
with
just
a
few
friends
by
my
side.
With
no
father,
no
mother,
I
had
nothing
left
to
hide.
Oh,
omo,
love
is
a
heavy
crown
to
wear
all
on
your
own.
But
if
your
heart
is
true,
you
are
never
truly
alone.
Though
the
family
ties
were
broken,
the
heavens
opened
up
their
gate.
I
found
a
deeper
meaning,
I
found
a
higher
state.
Omalicha,
you
are
the
blessing
that
came
after
the
storm.
You
are
the
fire
in
the
winter
that
keeps
my
spirit
warm.
So
let
them
talk,
let
them
judge,
let
them
carry
their
bitter
pride.
I
have
the
peace
of
the
Lord,
and
my
woman
by
my
side.
I
walked
that
road,
I
paid
the
price,
I
stood
tall
against
the
tide.
Now
my
home
is
built
on
love,
and
there
is
nowhere
for
them
to
hide.
Chop
life
with
peace,
that
is
the
lesson
I
have
learned
today.
When
you
follow
your
heart,
the
darkness
simply
fades
away.
But
when
a
man
finds
his
destiny,
no
custom
can
hold
him
down.
Love
does
not
ask
for
permission
when
your
soul
has
found
its
crown.
I
went
to
my
in-laws
with
just
a
few
friends
by
my
side.
With
no
father,
no
mother,
I
had
nothing
left
to
hide.
Oh,
omo,
love
is
a
heavy
crown
to
wear
all
on
your
own.
But
if
your
heart
is
true,
you
are
never
truly
alone.
No
custom
can
hold
him
down,
no,
no.
God
is
the
father,
God
is
the
mother
now.
Chai,
it
is
well,
my
love.
I
found
my
way
home.
Omalicha. (
