[male vocals] 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
wept
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.
[PRE-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.
[CHORUS 1 - Powerful] So
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,
