WHY IS IT ME THAT MUST, SUFFER THE PLEA?
FOR I ALONE, CANNOT SET THEM FREE
BUT CAN I FULFILL, GODS OWN WILL

EVEN IF MY PEOPLE, TURN ON ME
WHY MUST HE ASK THIS OF ME, EVERYTHING?
JUST TO HEAR FREEDOM RING

JUST TO SEE A FLAG UNFURLED
JUST TO HEAR FREEDOM RING


CHORUS

ERU OLORUN BA MI

CO SENI TO LE DA DURO

NOW IS THE HOUR I QUESTION HIS POWER

CAN HE MAKE THESE MEN, UNDERSTAND?
THAT ALL OF OUR TEARS, AND THESE HEART WRENCHING YEARS
WAS THE PRICE WE PAID, FOR MAN



WHY MUST HE ASK THIS OF ME, EVERYTHING?

JUST TO HEAR FREEDOM RING?
JUST TO SEE THAT FLAG UNFURLED YEAH
JUST TO HEAR FREEDOM RING


CHORUS


NOW WITH THIS BOOK IN MY HANDS, I CAN SEE
EVERYTHING
