Obataosu 1.
on
it
again.
Nna,
the
road
is
lonely
when
the
heart
makes
a
choice.
Oya,
listen
to
the
story
of
the
one
who
walked
alone.
[Verse 1] My
family
said
no,
they
said
she's
not
the
one
They
judged
the
woman
I
chose
to
be
my
wife
My
father
turned
away,
my
mother
turned
and
left
My
brothers
and
sisters
refused
to
walk
with
me
in
life
They
said
tradition
forbids
it,
they
said
I
brought
shame
So
they
refused
to
follow
me
to
pay
her
bride
price
I
stood
alone
on
a
road
I
thought
I'd
walk
with
many
But
love
left
me
with
just
a
few
true
friends
[Chorus] 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
am
walking
this
road
with
the
love
that
I
chose
Even
if
the
garden
is
missing
a
rose
Oma
licha,
I
stand
on
my
own
[Verse 2] I
went
to
my
in-laws
with
my
friends
No
father,
no
mother
standing
by
my
side
No
brother,
no
sister
to
hold
my
hands
They
gathered
their
heads
in
one
room,
saying
the
marriage
must
not
hold
Chai,
the
weight
of
the
silence
was
heavy
in
the
room
But
I
looked
in
her
eyes
and
saw
my
home
[Chorus] 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
am
walking
this
road
with
the
love
that
I
chose
Even
if
the
garden
is
missing
a
rose
Oma
licha,
I
stand
on
my
own
[Bridge] Then
God
stepped
in
from
above
and
gave
me
a
father
He
gave
me
a
mother
to
take
me
down
the
road
He
healed
the
scars
where
the
family
left
their
pride
Now
the
sun
is
rising
on
the
other
side
[Verse 3] Omo,
it
is
a
long
walk,
but
the
peace
is
deep
I
have
my
wife,
I
have
my
heart
to
keep
No
wahala,
I
will
not
look
back
at
the
door
I
am
moving
forward
to
find
something
more
Chop
life
with
the
love
that
the
heavens
have
blessed
I
have
put
all
the
bitterness
to
rest
[Chorus] 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
am
walking
this
road
with
the
love
that
I
chose
Even
if
the
garden
is
missing
a
rose
Oma
licha,
I
stand
on
my
own
[Outro] I
stand
on
my
own,
yeah
With
the
crown
I
have
found
Nna,
keep
your
head
up
Love
is
the
only
way
home.
