(Aweh... listen close)
(Sometimes the silence speaks the loudest)
Arrogance is a wall that you build by yourself
It closes the door to the greatness you seek
It sits on the shelf, collecting the dust of your pride
While the blessings you needed are pushed to the side
Be humble in dealings, in all that you do
For the way that you treat them says all about you
Don't step on the needy, don't crush the distressed
For the ones that you trouble are truly the blessed
Oh, Gentle Paulo says the truth remains plain
Good people are blessings, they walk through the rain
But the wicked will fade, they will be forgotten
Like leaves in the winter, all withered and rotten
Oh, Paul Onwuemene says walk in the light
Keep your heart clean and your spirit upright
If you hide all the hatred you hold deep inside
You are living a lie, you have nowhere to hide
See, the Almighty watches the cry of the poor
He opens the lock on the heavenly door
He takes the revenge for the helpless and small
So watch how you walk, and watch how you fall
Sharp sharp, keep your ego in check
Don't let the shadows come breathing down on your neck
Oh, Gentle Paulo says the truth remains plain
Good people are blessings, they walk through the rain
But the wicked will fade, they will be forgotten
Like leaves in the winter, all withered and rotten
Oh, Paul Onwuemene says walk in the light
Keep your heart clean and your spirit upright
Knowledge is gold, seek it out, don't be shy
If you're wrong, let them tell you, don't let the truth die
Good children, they toil to make parents smile
They go the distance, they go the extra mile
But the foolish bring grief, a heavy dark cloud
So hold on to respect, let it be your shroud
Respect is the hallmark of all that we know
It brings back the joy and it helps the seeds grow
It’s the language of peace in a world full of noise
It’s the path to the wisdom that one must employ
So remember the lessons from Gentle Paulo today
Let humility lead you in all of your ways
Yebo, let the arrogance go
And let the seeds of the kindness you plant start to grow
Oh, Gentle Paulo says the truth remains plain
Good people are blessings, they walk through the rain
But the wicked will fade, they will be forgotten
Like leaves in the winter, all withered and rotten
Oh, Paul Onwuemene says walk in the light
Keep your heart clean and your spirit upright
Eish, remember the words
Good children make parents proud
Respect is the hallmark
Be humble, walk in the light
Asambe.
