Asehekpe! Nwannem, listen well
Ibie Iyakpi, our home, our pride
Olu b...!
For too long we dey fight ourselves, nna
Brother against brother, sister against sister
We scatter like sand when we suppose stand strong
How we be the heart when our own heart divided, eh?
Omo, the ancestors dey look down
Waiting for us to remember who we be
We are the children of this compound
We supposed be the giant, the unshakeable one
Asehekpe rise, rise, rise
Drop the suspicion, pick understanding
Unity over pride, that's the way
One meeting, one honest talk
Asehekpe rise, rise, rise
For our name, for our children
For Ibie Iyakpi, we come alive
It's never too late to change the story, abi?
Forgiveness dey sweet pass bitterness
Let's rebuild what time has broken
Come together, nwannem, no be today we dey suffer
Our ancestors pray for this moment
The heart that keeps the village strong
That heart na we, that strength na us
Shey you dey hear the call? E don ring clear
Asehekpe rise, rise, rise
Drop the suspicion, pick understanding
Unity over pride, that's the way
One meeting, one honest talk
Asehekpe rise, rise, rise
For our name, for our children
For Ibie Iyakpi, we come alive
Chukwu see our heart, see our intention
We dey come back home to ourselves
No more scattered, no more broken
Asehekpe standing whole again
Ibie Iyakpi, Ibie Iyakpi
We rise together, we rise as one
Asehekpe! Asehekpe!
The heart beat strong again
