(Aweh, listen close)
(Yebo, life is a funny thing)
We gather round to weep for those who has gone to the land of sleep
But hold a grudge for neighbors in the very same town
We turn our backs on those who need a helping hand
While envying the riches that are shifting in the sand
Eish, the irony of it all, look at the way we spin
Judging all the outside while we cover up within
We chase the bigger shadows, forgetting where we stand
Sharp sharp, time is moving through the glass like shifting sand.
Oh, Mr. Paul Onwuemene, Gentle Paulo the JP
Teaching us the truth about the life we come to see
It's the little things, the simple things that bring the golden light
A little hug can dry the tears that fall into the night
Yeah, keep your peace, let your heart remain in grace
Even when the world forgets to look upon your face.
A little candle flicker keeps the darkness from the door
Memories we gather mean so much more than the store
Kindness is a ripple, it’s not a debt you pay
So do it for the spirit, do it in a humble way
If they cannot see the goodness that you try to sow
Don't let it turn your heart to ice, don't let your spirit go
Asambe, keep on shining through the blindness of the crowd
Your peace is your reward, and that’s the way to stay unbowed.
Oh, Mr. Paul Onwuemene, Gentle Paulo the JP

A little hug can dry the tears that fall into the night
Yeah, keep your peace, let your heart remain in grace
Even when the world forgets to look upon your face.
Sho, it's a contradiction, the way we walk the lane of life
We praise the one who’s winning while we look away from pain
But Gentle Paulo knows that grace is never lost
Doing good is always worth whatever be the cost
Let’s be the light, let’s be the change, let’s be the heart
Before the final curtain falls and we all have to part.
So let the ingratitude belong to them, it’s not your load
Just keep your soul intact upon this dusty road
Be good, be kind, keep the balance in your mind
Leave the bitterness and petty jealousy behind
It's the small acts, the little grace, that build the legacy
Gentle Paulo knows this, and he’s sharing it for our good
Yeah, we rise together, keeping spirits ever free
Life is for the living, let it be exactly what we see.
Oh, Mr. Paul Onwuemene, Gentle Paulo the JP

It's the little things, the simple things that bring the golden light
A little hug can dry the tears that fall into the night
Yeah, keep your peace, let your heart remain in grace
Even when the world forgets to look upon your face.
Let’s do the little things, yeah.
Kindness is the way, Paul Onwuemene said it right.
Keep your peace, gentle soul.
Asambe, let the light shine on.
(Yebo, life is a beautiful thing)
