humming
in
the
clouds
Reaching
out
from
beyond
the
veil
Robed
in
fleeting
clouds
Egbe...
My
Egbe
Orun...
Hold
my
hand ,
forget
me
not
cus
we
are
mates
Verse 1
I
always
knew
I
was
not
alone,
Even
in
a
crowded
room,
I
feel
home,
There's
a
laughter
that
calls
my
name
at
night,
Egbe
Orun,
my
family
of
light.
Won
ni
emi
ya
were,
they
say
I'm
too
different,
They
don't
know
I
have
a
meeting
in
heaven,
When
I
sleep,
I
dey
go
house,
I
dey
go
party,
With
my
people
wey
no
dey
forget
me.

PRAISE
Egbe
mi,
ẹ
ku
owuro
o,
my
friends
beyond
the
sea,
Ẹgbẹ́
mi
tó

fẹ́
mi,
you
still
remember
me!
Even
though
I
came
to
earth,
on
a
mission
to
shine,
Ẹ

you
still
dey
call
me
thine.

aye,
Egbe
mi
Orun,
please
hold
my
hand,
Make
my
road

Verse 2
So
how
do
I
love
you,
my
Egbe?
How
do
I
care.
How
do
I
reach
now
and
touch
your
heart.
Not
with
fight,
not
with
pride,
not
with "
leave
me"?
Agreement
binds,
oath
changes
not.
I
know
now,
we
promised
not
to
be
separated.
Maybe
your
chokes
but
true.
Maybe
I
should
have
recalled
the
lines
we
tied.
Maybe.
Let
the
calabash
stay
safe.
Do
not
harsely
treats
my
bowl
of
connection
I
connect
again
never
to
forget
our
sacred
vows
ever
