Peace for the people who are gone

Yekpa for the ones not yet born

Oh, for the people who are here

Yeah, yeah, yeah, for the people

Peace for the people who are gone

Yekpa for the ones not yet born

Oh, for the people who are here

Yeah, yeah, yeah, for the people

I cry when I see that I am born

I live when I see what I am to do

'Cause life is all about

All you sitting and looking at me

Just take one step at a time

'Cause if you jump you'll never believe

The thorns of life

Them are whining and waiting for me and you

They make a brother say

I want to run away

Run away, run away

Run away, we re ja si gbo

Run away, run away

Run away, we re ja si gbo
