[Nigerian Pidgin] Like Air

Lyrics

[Intro]

Hmmmm...

Some things dey come like thunder...

Some with big applause...

Some with fireworks...

And some...

Dem be part of you so tey...

You no fit remember life before dem.

[Verse 1]

I no see am when e start,
No trumpet blow for sky.

No big announcement from above,
No sign for my life.

But somehow through the seasons,
Through normal days and years,

You be the quiet constant,
The one wey stay through joy and tears.

No be storm wey change my story,
No be dream wey too bright to hold,

But the gentle hand beside me,
When night dey dark and cold.

[Pre-Chorus]

Now I look around me,
All wey we don waka through,

I realize say the greatest gift
No be wetin we build...

Na you.

[Chorus]

🌍 Like air...

You dey everywhere I breathe.

No dey ask to be noticed,
But impossible to leave.

Like light...

Wey quietly fill the room,

You dey give meaning to moments,
And beauty to the truth.

And if love get language,
Or place where hearts dey repair,

My own dey always sound like you...

And feel like air.

[Verse 2]

You dey there for every struggle,
You dey there for every win.

There when faith dey easy,
And there when doubt dey creep in.

You dey celebrate every sunrise,
You carry every fall.

And somehow make the smallest moments
Feel like dem worth it all.

World fit call am ordinary,
But dem no go understand,

How extraordinary e be
To always find your hand.

[Pre-Chorus]

Some people dey search lifetime
For wetin we don know,

Place where love dey show up,
No matter where life go.

[Chorus]

🌍 Like air...

You dey everywhere I breathe.

No dey ask to be noticed,
But impossible to leave.

Like light...

Wey quietly fill the room,

You dey give meaning to moments,
And beauty to the truth.

And if love get language,
Or place where hearts dey repair,

My own dey always sound like you...

And feel like air.

[Bridge]

One day our hair fit turn silver,
One day our steps fit lose speed,

One day the world around us
Fit become different place to be.

But if I get your hand beside me,
And your smile somewhere near,

Then I go still be the richest man
Wey ever walk this Earth.

Because home no be bricks or stone.

Home no be where we stay.

Home na every moment
We share along the way.

[Final Chorus]

🌍 Like air...

You dey everywhere I breathe.

The quiet strength behind my courage,
The reason why I believe.

Like light...

Wey always find way,

You dey turn ordinary moments
Into gifts I celebrate.

And if I get another lifetime,
And another world somewhere,

I go still choose you...

I go still find you...

I go still love you...

Like air.

[Outro]

Hmmmm...

Some gifts dey come for a season...

Some for a reason...

And some...

Dem dey waka beside us

For a lifetime.

Thank you...

For being the air around my soul.
