(Soft talking drum melody)
Baba ibeji, my hero
I miss you, Baba
Ezigbo nna, where you dey?
Legendary twins I look at the stars and I see your face
Searching for your warmth in this empty space
Two hearts beating but the rhythm is slow
My hero, my teacher, why you had to go?
I still remember the lessons you taught
The battles you won and the peace that you sought
I keep your memory locked in my soul
But without you here, I don't feel whole
Oh, my hero, you fly away so high
I want to hold you tight, beneath the sky
There's nobody like you, no, not a soul
You played your part, you reached the goal
Miss you, miss you, every single night
Praying that your spirit is glowing so bright
People say time heals every single pain
But I still feel the clouds and the falling rain
Twins left behind, just walking the street
Trying to find the rhythm of your heartbeat
You were the foundation, the rock and the tree
Now I’m just sailing on a turbulent sea
But I stand tall because of the seed that you sow
I carry your name everywhere that I go
Oh, my hero, you fly away so high
I want to hold you tight, beneath the sky
There's nobody like you, no, not a soul
You played your part, you reached the goal
Miss you, miss you, every single night
Praying that your spirit is glowing so bright
I wish I could whisper one word in your ear
To tell you I love you and draw you near
But heaven is calling and heaven is loud
I’m looking for you in the middle of the cloud
My hero, my father, my guiding light
Rest in your peace, in the middle of the night
(Soft percussion fades)
I promise to keep the fire burning on
Even when the shadows are deep and long
Your laughter, your wisdom, the way that you stand
I feel your presence right here in the land
No body like you, you were one of a kind
A legacy left for the world to find
Oh, my hero, you fly away so high
I want to hold you tight, beneath the sky
There's nobody like you, no, not a soul
You played your part, you reached the goal
Miss you, miss you, every single night
Praying that your spirit is glowing so bright
From your sons legendary twins and your others sons wemiss you, Baba
My hero, sleep well
Odogwu, rest in peace
My hero, fly away
