[Intro] Nna,
we
lift
our
eyes
to
the
hills
today
Oh
kwahel,
son
of
the
soil,
your
light
remains
[Verse 1] The
sun
rises
over
the
Bazza
hills
so
bright
I
look
at
the
horizon
and
I
see
your
light
Though
the
road
is
quiet
and
the
wind
blows
cold
We
cherish
all
the
stories
that
you
ever
told
Son
of
the
soil,
you
walked
with
grace
and
pride
With
the
ancestors
now,
you
have
nothing
to
hide
[Chorus] Rest
on,
Kwahel,
you
are
home
in
the
sky
Your
spirit
soars
higher,
no
reason
to
cry
We
remember
your
laughter,
we
remember
your
name
In
the
heart
of
the
village,
you
still
light
the
flame
Oh,
Kwahel,
rest
on,
you
are
the
son
of
the
soil
Released
from
the
trouble,
released
from
the
toil
[Verse 2] Chai!
The
memories
flow
like
the
palm
wine
sweet
Even
in
our
sorrow,
the
victory
is
complete
We
celebrate
the
life
that
you
lived
so
well
More
stories
of
wisdom
that
the
elders
will
tell
Brave
warrior
soul,
you
played
your
part
so
grand
Leaving
your
footprints
all
over
this
land
[Chorus] Rest
on,
Kwahel,
you
are
home
in
the
sky
Your
spirit
soars
higher,
no
reason
to
cry
We
remember
your
laughter,
we
remember
your
name
In
the
heart
of
the
village,
you
still
light
the
flame
Oh,
Kwahel
rest
on,
you
are
the
son
of
the
soil
Released
from
the
trouble,
released
from
the
toil
[Bridge] Omo,
the
journey
is
long
but
you
finished
the
race
Now
you
are
resting
in
that
holy
place
No
wahala
now,
just
peace
in
the
light
Everything
is
steady,
everything
is
right
[Verse 3] We
carry
your
legacy,
we
hold
it
so
dear
Whenever
we
mention
your
name,
we
feel
you
near
From
Bazza
to
Lagos,
your
story
will
spread
Of
the
strength
in
your
heart
and
the
words
that
you
said
Chop
life
in
the
heavens,
where
the
streets
are
of
gold
Your
love
for
your
people
will
never
grow
old
[Chorus] Rest
on,
kwahel,
you
are
home
in
the
sky
Your
spirit
soars
higher,
no
reason
to
cry
We
remember
your
laughter,
we
remember
your
name
In
the
heart
of
the
village,
you
still
light
the
flame
Oh,
kwahel,
rest
on,
you
are
the
son
of
the
soil
Released
from
the
trouble,
released
from
the
toil
[Outro] Rest
on,
kwahel
brother,
rest
on
Rest
on,
kwahel
brother,
rest
on
Your
light
is
shining,
it
will
never
be
gone
Chai,
rest
on,
brother,
until
we
meet
again
Rest
on,
Kwahel,
amen.
