Refrain:
Ni wa yiulu (I belong at the top)
Thayu wakwa ndukai na nthi (My life will never go down)
Ni wa yiulu (I belong at the top)
No kiwango kuthi o kingi (I go from one level to another) (Repeat)

Nthyulullukitwe na akusii ma wiko waku (I’m surrounded by a crowd of witnesses)
Thayuni wakwa, kuti ngai ngeni (There are no foreign gods in my life) (Repeat)

Onoketha wi mueni kwa aingi (Though you may be foreign to many)
Kwakwa ndwi mueni na ndeutaia ta mueni (You aren’t to me, I can’t worship You like You’re foreign) (Repeat)

Nzisya kila ngaliko nyie ngoona mumo (I look everywhere, all I see is Grace) x2

Repeat: Yiulu, Yiulu, nyie ni wa yiulu, yiulu (The top, I belong at the top)
Yiulu, Yiulu, nyie ni wa yiulu, yiulu (The top, I belong at the top)
Ninakaanisya kuangaikanga (I have rebuked suffering)
Useo na tei ni kianda kyakwa (Goodness and Mercy are my portion)
Moathimo ma yiulu, yiulu (Blessings are at the top)
Ndikethwe umwe wa ala me ufulizanga (May I not be among those who Fuliza)
Nale ngali sya “sukuma kasongange” (I have refused “push to start” cars)

Repeat: Yiulu, Yiulu, nyie ni wa yiulu, yiulu (The top, I belong at the top)
Nathane nake kasumba onakwa (I prophesy building a house as well)
Ndiketawe mulika mbake (So I may not be called “tenant” forever)
Uume kutembea ui na kakali (May you come from walking to driving a car)
Uume kokova uambe ukoventhanja (May you come from borrowing to becoming a lender)

Oh wi museo (Oh You are Good)

Ndyaona Mundu taku (I have never witnessed anyone like You)

Na hii journey imekuwa tu mahoya (And this journey has become prayerful)
Nakumbuka nikikula U-Fresh ( I remember .?.)
Na madunya za kuhoya ( … )
Wakakaza nikakazua na mahoya (They blocked me, but I opened a path through prayer)
Niko happy, niko happy ( I am happy, I am happy)
Niko happy (I am happy) in Jesus Mighty name
Itadai, itadai, itadai gutongoria ainge ( … lead ..)
Ni Messiah, ni Messiah, ni Messiah (It is the Messiah)

Sailors tumejitolea tutume Nyasaye (Sailors have resolved, send us God)
Walai ututume injili ibambe ( Use us, that we might spread the gospel)

Masilver ni nyendete mwathani ( Masilver are the … Lord)
Na ndire ndahitia riathani x3 ( …)

(Refrain)
