White is the way
Pure is the path
He who walks it must come pure
He who approaches must come clean of heart, mind and body
Verse 1
Iwa Pele, iwa mimo, aya funfun ni ti omo Orunmila.Otito ailetan ni gbe ni leke.
Clean hands, clean spirit, a heart full of love is the cornerstone of the onisese.
The white shroud of Obatala speaks of divinity enshrined in ancient truths encoded in the rites of life
The orisas encourages purity, they ask for cleanliness of the being in order to approach the throne of Eledumare.
He who comes must come pure bearing his seed of ebo in piety and purity then the orisas hears and answer the truth of the seeker.

Tell those who do not know that Baba Ifa
Is pure like owu and those who seeks must know Obatala is the symbol of purity
Iyemoja toss her water to cleanse
Oshun cools the patched tongues with sweetness in exchange for commitment to
Show kindness and love to the helpless
Oya, the queen of the storms rages to clear off the deadness of yesterday so today is birthed fresh and clean

Ogun encourages Commerce and honest labour
Egba Erumoles search for truth in iwa pele

Verse 3
Preserve the ancient wisdom. Hold firm the touch. Let not the flame quench
Stand before the altar and offer libations
Raise the chants, call the ancient
In your shroud of purity speaks into days unborn. Fill the gap like your father's before you
Isese must not die. Isese must not be forgotten
Lit the fire, upon the ancient bridge stand
Call those gone, reach out and embrace the purity that lays buried within
