[Nigerian Pidgin] I Was Here

Lyrics

[Intro – Piano, Strings, Distant Choir]

Hmmmm...

One day book go close...

Years go waka...

Seasons go shift...

Wetin go remain

Na di love we give...

And di lives we touch.

[Verse 1]

I fit no move mountain,
I fit no change sky,

I fit no see my name
Wey great people dey lie.

But if I help person wey tire,
If I help dream take flight,

If I bring small hope
For person darkest night,

Then my life no waste.

[Pre-Chorus]

Because small candle
Still dey push darkness away,

And even small kindness
Fit leave mark wey go stay.

[Chorus]

🌍 I dey here...

No be to make dem remember me,

But to remember others.

I dey here...

No be to stand on top,

But to lift another.

And if world dey shine brighter
When my journey disappear,

Then e don do.

I dey here.

[Verse 2]

Some go build with words,
Some go build with hands,

Some go teach pikin,
Some go help another stand.

Some go heal broken spirit,
Some go calm troubled mind,

Some go leave fortune,
Others go leave love behind.

And na love
Wey dey last longest.

[Pre-Chorus]

Because heart dey remember
Wetin eyes fit forget,

And every act of goodness
Fit be road for others to select.

[Chorus]

🌍 I dey here...

No be to make dem remember me,

But to remember others.

I dey here...

No be to stand on top,

But to lift another.

And if world dey shine brighter
When my journey disappear,

Then e don do.

I dey here.

[Bridge – Choir Rising]

When final chapter close,

When final song dey sing,

Make dem measure my life

No be by wetin I own,

But wetin I give.

No be how many follow me,

But how many find road.

No be wealth I gather,

But hope I leave behind.

Because every soul dey write

Story for the lives of others.

[Final Chorus – Full Choir]

🌍 I dey here...

I love deeply.

I give freely.

I dream boldly.

I stand kindly.

I dey here...

And somewhere for tomorrow

Part of me go remain.

For smile I help create.

For burden I help carry.

For dream I help awaken.

For life I help change.

🌍 And if world dey shine brighter

Because I pass this way,

Then e don do.

I dey here.

[Outro – Choir & Piano Fade]

One life...

One chance...

One beautiful opportunity...

To leave the world

Small better

Than we find am.

Hmmmm...

I dey here...
