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...

WITH GOD, WE'LL RUN THROUGH A TROOP

Like Humpty Dumpty in a house of cards Your house fell down like the walls of Jericho [And it's hard to pick up the spare parts] Every spring of idea became a dying plant (God forbid!) Something of colour ends up in monochrome  Look before you leap, are words of wisdom But what if faith is leaping before you look? Or is faith leaping before you look? And where then does that place our reasoning? Is it still faith if it breaks like a broom? And what if this leap doesn't pay as due? Should our faith in God make everything (exactly) possible? However, base your plans on something solid Not something that could go up in smoke Do not be too hasty to strike gold Neither delay too long a decisive blow  Be confident in your ability to win the race But don't jump the gun and think it's going to be okay (it's not!) Have faith in God, believe he can do all things But don't back yourself into a corner and put your God to test... Like refusing to serve in a tennis game Then ...

TO KNOW I GOT YOU (WONDER WOMAN)

Omo, you dey make my heart dey beat Thinking of you, my mind dey sweet Like Chike I wan dey run to you Dem say life na suru But for you I be Eran Nuru I still smile when I think of you Revisit talks I had with you I dey bless God because of you Like which material he use make you? Not perfect but we need to be In case you're wondering, same applies for me But I know enough to not judge me Like I wouldn't want to judge me You're like a dream come true Everyday I wanna shout out to you You remind me of Queen Esther You're one great queen, remember! That mercy and dear compassion You are my friend, my dear companion Relating don't have to be romantic Forgive me my dear antics But it's good to know I've got you Someone brave and down-earth humble You no dey do gra gra, you no dey fumble See how freely I speak with you? Means the world to me, true! You're a woman but you are my bro And I respect you kindly, aburo.. ©el-iyanu, 7th of November, 2021. For a very...

THE ROAD IS NEVER ALONE

I Spoke to King Solomon yesterday, Told him I was sad and lonely, yeah; He looked at me and deeply smiled, Showed me a god-forsaken road, Then said: Listen carefully and watch, my child— The road is never alone! Listen, he said, the road is never alone! Your joy is yours, and so is sadness, Listen carefully, he said, my child— The road is never alone, And so you never walk alone! The path is lonely, and the lane is dark, Your mind is filled With a lot of things you can't track, Still, you never walk alone. Dark skies like a blacked-out picture, Blowing like garments without cincture, Tripping your feet chasing the future, Bad news that keeps the soul injured; At times, happiness becomes a decoy, Deflecting attention like a wind-up toy, But sadness remains behind the smile, Mind shattering like a broken tile… But I spoke to King Solomon yesterday, Told him I was sad and lonely, yeah; He looked at me and deeply smiled, Showed me a god-forsaken road, Then said: Listen carefully and wa...
