Intro] (
Aweh,
listen
close) (
Yebo,
life
is
a
funny
thing)
[Verse 1] 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.
[Chorus] 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.
[Verse 2] A
little
candle
flicker
keeps
the
darkness
from
the
door
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.
[Chorus] 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.
[Bridge] 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.
[Verse 3] 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.
[Chorus] 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.
[Outro] 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)
