(Oya, make we celebrate!)
(Ehen, everybody gather round)
(It is a special day today!)
(Hallelujah!)
Today the sun is shining just for you
Ngozi Ogonnaya, everything is new
From Venerable Ernest and the Joy family too
We gather here to celebrate the life you knew
You are our mother, our sister and friend
May your blessings and joy never have an end
We lift our voices, we sing it loud today
Because God has truly washed your tears away
Happy birthday Ngozi, shine like the gold
May your story of grace be forever told
With long life and peace, you are divinely blessed
In the sight of the Lord, you are simply the best
Happy birthday, Ngozi Ogonnaya!
(E choke!)
Look at the beauty, look at the grace
Joy is written all over your beautiful face
We thank the Creator for the years that have passed
And we pray that these memories forever will last
From the Ogonnaya clan to the friends in the street
We dance to the rhythm, moving our feet
No dulling today, we give God the praise
For the wisdom you show in all of your ways
Happy birthday Ngozi, shine like the gold
May your story of grace be forever told
With long life and peace, you are divinely blessed
In the sight of the Lord, you are simply the best
Happy birthday, Ngozi Ogonnaya!
(Praise God!)
In Jesus name, we declare it is done
Your race is glorious, you have already won
More years of favor, more years of light
Everything you touch will shine so bright
(Amen!)
So raise up your glass, let the music flow
You are a queen that we all love to know
Thank you for love that is pure and is true
Today we are living and dancing for you
(See gobe, beautiful lady!)
Happy birthday Ngozi, shine like the gold
May your story of grace be forever told
With long life and peace, you are divinely blessed
In the sight of the Lord, you are simply the best
Happy birthday, Ngozi Ogonnaya!
We love you mummy, we love you so
Let the blessings overflow, let it show
Happy birthday, Ngozi!
(Hallelujah!)
(No dulling!)
(Enjoy your day!)
(God bless you!)
