Wanyinna – Okluno lyrics

When I rise at the dawn of the day, I remember I slept as a slave
Oh see, I was born into bondage. It's all I've ever known.
I dreamt I was free, adrift with the wind to my sail.
It means that my chains will be broken, and my ransom will be paid.

Okluno, mi thon dagbe (Lord, you are good)
Okluno, o me whiwhe (Lord, you are Holy)
Okluno, mi thon dagbe (Lord, you are good)
Okluno, Oba awon Oba (Lord, You are King of kings)

I am so overwhelmed by the scars. To know you're a King and you are who you are;
Yet you still took the place for my crime, so I can be free
I will sing, I will dance, for my life was replaced by your Love
I give you my heart as a token, Lover of my soul

Okluno, mi thon dagbe (Lord, you are good)
Okluno, o me whiwhe (Lord, you are Holy)
Okluno, mi thon dagbe (Lord, you are good)
Okluno, Oba awon Oba (Lord, You are King of kings)

Now that I can fly free, I need company.
No, I cannot build this dream by myself.
Kings and Kingdoms will come and go,
But we will be proof that a people lived for something more than themselves

Okluno, mi thon dagbe (Lord, you are good)
Okluno, o me whiwhe (Lord, you are Holy)
Okluno, mi thon dagbe (Lord, you are good)
Okluno, Oba awon Oba (Lord, You are King of kings)When I rise at the dawn of the day, I remember I slept as a slave
Oh see, I was born into bondage. It's all I've ever known.
I dreamt I was free, adrift with the wind to my sail.
It means that my chains will be broken, and my ransom will be paid.

Okluno, mi thon dagbe (Lord, you are good)
Okluno, o me whiwhe (Lord, you are Holy)
Okluno, mi thon dagbe (Lord, you are good)
Okluno, Oba awon Oba (Lord, You are King of kings)

I am so overwhelmed by the scars. To know you're a King and you are who you are;
Yet you still took the place for my crime, so I can be free
I will sing, I will dance, for my life was replaced by your Love
I give you my heart as a token, Lover of my soul

Okluno, mi thon dagbe (Lord, you are good)
Okluno, o me whiwhe (Lord, you are Holy)
Okluno, mi thon dagbe (Lord, you are good)
Okluno, Oba awon Oba (Lord, You are King of kings)

Now that I can fly free, I need company.
No, I cannot build this dream by myself.
Kings and Kingdoms will come and go,
But we will be proof that a people lived for something more than themselves

Okluno, mi thon dagbe (Lord, you are good)
Okluno, o me whiwhe (Lord, you are Holy)
Okluno, mi thon dagbe (Lord, you are good)
Okluno, Oba awon Oba (Lord, You are King of kings)
