STEADY HAND (CLOUDED INTENTIONS)


Refrain:
Need a steady hand, intentions clouded
Oluwa guide me, I no wan looseguard me
I for say make you save me
But you don already save me
Almighty guide me
Make I no looseguard me


Iyanu:
Baba take the wheel I pray
Smoke just dey block my way
I try again and again
Smoke just dey block my way
Where I wan carry myself put
If no be hand of God like suit
Need a steady hand wey fit
Carry me up like lift
Cause smoke just dey block my way
Baba take the wheel I pray
Smoke just dey block my way!


Rahma:
Need a steady hand, intentions clouded
Many many things wey dey man mind
How to live, and how to do things right
And even when it seem like I'm loosing my mind
I run to You, You know my plight!
Open my heart and let me see your light
'Cause only You fit save my kind
And only you I fit rely on, every night and day
Take me higher, cause smoke just dey block my way
Even when it feels like I'm losing, like people say
Take the wheel
Smoke just just dey block my way!


Iyanu:
Baba speak for me
Na you bespoke me
Baba guide me
Na you tailor me
Baba fashion me
Make evil run for me
Baba cover me
Sand sand dey find garri
Na last dem wan make I carry
Alaye dem wan suck my blood
But in His presence will I tarry
Who again dey if no be God?
He's my resting place inside the storm!


Together:
Need a steady hand, intentions clouded
Oluwa guide me, I no wan looseguard me
I for say make you save me
But you don already save me
Almighty guide me
Make I no looseguard me
Only you I fit rely on night and day
Take me higher, cause smoke dey block my way
Even when it feels like I'm losing my way
Take the wheel
'Cause smoke just dey block my way...

HAVEN'T FOUND THE ANSWER YET

I searched the four corners of the wind I listened hard, I heard the birds sing I saw them take to flight and fly free I saw power in their wholesome wings  I went deep down the ocean depths  The primordial power of the earth I felt  Was ever so majestic the deeper I went Words fail to capture the essence  I climbed the mountains of the highest peaks Caught the sunrise on the tallest trees Saw so much beauty that I couldn't breathe Saw greatness that made my heart to freeze  In high spirits, but my energy spent  Still seeking answers, but I couldn't make a dent I searched the secrets of the seven seas I was put to bed by the gentle breeze  It doesn't matter if I spend my last cent   These answers are worth more per every cent  Yet on my strength I can't depend  To the grace of God, I must defer For in the fire, I found no answer In the earthquake, I heard no response  In the thunder, there was no reply  But in the g...

A PLACE

We all need a place, where we can be less perfect  Bottle our insecurities, and let it out in private Dine with our doubts and pick bones with faith It can be a person, it can be a place  It can be something we'll never do again. It could be healing, it could be coping  It could be something to help you keep moving  Life is a lesson, and people are blankets  Life is transient, and memories are strength Life is transient, and memories are strength. Like a plastic bag I kept some messy things  On the outside, it was fine But inside was less pleasant  Messy, not dirty, but serving a purpose  To keep my environment clean And help arrange my thoughts as I cleaned: Resented the baggage, but it grew on me And I came to realize its usefulness  We all need a place we can be less perfect  To figure out our weaknesses or find our strengths—   It's okay if we're lonely along the way  Or weak by ourselves when we can't find help Life is a l...
