(Gentle guitar strums)
Arc Dickson on the move
Mama, our legend
Ninety-two years of light
We celebrate you today
Mrs Alice mamah, the pillar of the soil
Through ninety-two winters, you didn't recoil
A woman of grace, a woman of hope
You held us together when we couldn't cope
From Emenike the first to Okwudili the last
You fought for our future, you silenced the past with you we know ogadinma
Mama de Mama, our heart and our crown
Your story of love is the pride of this town
At ninety-two years, you’re the oldest in ogu family and best
In the warmth of your prayers, we finally rest
We celebrate you, again and again
Your legacy blooms like the grass in the rain
I’m the last born, but I learned from your strength
You went through the fire to any great length
To feed all your children, to guide every step
I cherish the secrets and wisdom you kept
It’s a privilege, Mama, to walk in your light
You’re the moon in the darkness, the star in the night
Mama de Mama, our heart and our crown
Your story of love is the pride of this town
At ninety-two years, you’re the oldest in ogu family and best
In the warmth of your prayers, we finally rest
We celebrate you, again and again
Your legacy blooms like the grass in the rain
Your prayers for the children, the great-grand ones too
They rise up to heaven, they come to pass true
In the name of the Savior, your blessings remain
Like a river of peace washing away all the pain
Mama de Mama, our heart and our crown
Your story of love is the pride of this town
At ninety-two years, you’re the oldest in ogu family and best
In the warmth of your prayers, we finally rest
We celebrate you, again and again
Your legacy blooms like the grass in the rain
(Aching guitar solo fades)
Mama of grace, we celebrate you in peace
Your love for us all shall never decrease
Mama de Mama… we honor you
Always and forever, we celebrate you.
