LYRICS

LIFTED BY GABRIEL EZIASHI

VERSE 1

It all began, through the womb of hopelessness

Not knowing what tomorrow has in store

But through it all I hear a voice

Whispering so loud, there’s more to life than this

I’ve made a way just for you to walk in

Walk upon my promise

Constantly shout….

CHORUS

Ooo odi onye dikagi 

Chukwuku na gwuzo, Ekene diri ji

Ooo odi Onye dikagi

Onye na gwuzo, Ekene diri ji

Verse 2

Like a dawning light, at the start of the day

We are meant to shine brighter and brighter

But now and here, yesterday is gone

Tomorrow will be greater

As there’s more to life

You are meant to rise

Walk upon the clouds

Soar beyond the stars

And you and say….

Chorus.....

Ooo Ekene dirigi 

Chukwu na gwuzo nmama dirigi  

Ooo ekene dirigi 

Onye na gwuzo nmama dirigi

Lead...I will worship you forever giving you all I know.

BRIDGE 

So I can say .... nmama...

Mma ma, Mma ma 

Mma ma, Mma ma

Díli jehova mo ....

nmama deli onye nwemo .... 

o nmama 

The lifter of my head 

I will give all I have 

Give you all I own 

You've been my strength all the days of my life 

You alone are God

None besides you  

You are the Lifter of my life

Mma ma (Till end)
