[Nigerian Pidgin] The Light You Leave

Lyrics

[Intro – Soft Piano & Strings]

Hmmmm...

Some people waka dis life...

Dem leave footprint.

Some leave memory.

Some leave dream.

But you...

You dey leave light.

[Verse 1]

I don dey watch your journey since,
The laughter and the tears,
The mountain wey you don climb,
The courage wey you find.

For every season of your life,
One truth dey always remain,
Anywhere you go,
You dey make the world shine pass before.

You don full my life with wonder,
You don full my heart with pride,
And every step wey you take
Na joy to waka by your side.

No be because of wetin you do,
No be because of wetin you achieve,
But because of who you be,
And the kindness wey you dey leave.

[Pre-Chorus]

Some people dey leave footprint,
Some dey leave memory behind,

But you dey leave light anywhere you go,
And kindness for every life.

[Chorus]

🌍 You be the light wey you dey leave for this world,
Gift wey no measure fit define.

For every heart wey you don heal,
Small part of you go shine.

Anywhere life carry you go,
Any dream wey you choose to chase,

No forget how beautiful you be,
And the light wey nobody fit replace.

[Verse 2]

I don dey watch you grow in wisdom,
I don dey watch you grow in grace,
Finding strength for every challenge,
Finding beauty for your faith.

The world fit measure riches
By title, fame, or gold,

But I don learn say the greatest treasure
Na loving heart and soul.

And your own dey always carry
Beauty wey deep pass eye fit see,

For the way you dey lift another
Na the person wey you meant to be.

You get way of giving hope
Without even knowing you do,

And the lives wey you don touch
Na only the beginning of wetin you go do.

[Pre-Chorus]

The gifts wey we give others,
Na the legacy wey we dey leave,

And every life you touch with love
Dey create future dem go believe.

[Chorus]

🌍 You be the light wey you dey leave for this world,
Gift wey no measure fit define.

For every heart wey you don heal,
Small part of you go shine.

Anywhere life carry you go,
Any dream wey you choose to chase,

No forget how beautiful you be,
And the light wey nobody fit replace.

[Bridge]

One day my voice fit fade,
And these hands fit no hold yours again.

But anytime you lift another heart,
Anytime you help person believe again,

Anytime you bring kindness where pain dey,
Anytime you choose love over fear,

I go still dey there.

Because na there I don always live.

Inside the love we give away.

Raise your voice,
Lift your dreams,
Lift the ones beside you.

Make dem see wetin you dey see.

No life dey without meaning.
No soul dey without worth.

The greatest wealth of all
Na the goodness we leave for Earth.

[Final Chorus]

🌍 You be the light wey you dey leave for this world,
Gift wey no measure fit define.

For every heart wey you don heal,
Small part of you go shine.

May your days full with purpose,
May your faith remain strong and true,

And may you always know, my daughter,
How proud I be of you.

🌍 You be the light...
You be the hope...
You be the kindness...
You be the dream...

And the world dey shine because you dey here.

And better because you don grow.

And more beautiful because of the light you leave.

[Outro – Piano & Choir Fade]

Hmmmm...

Pass am on...

Pass the light on...

And anywhere life fit carry you,

No forget...

You don always be

One of life's most beautiful gifts.
