It is You who created mountains of those days

(Languages: English, Yoruba)

The grass is greener on the other side
That’s what I thought – before I took the ride
I burned my bridges, so I’d never look back
But if i had known
The life I was searching for
Was looking me right in the eye
If I had known,
The life i was searching for was already my own
Ire n be nile oo, ire ayo (goodness is at home)

Refrain:
Ire x3 (Goodness, Goodness, Goodness)
Ire ire ayo O npe mio (Goodness is calling out me)
Oni kin ma bo (It is telling me to come)
Oni kin ma bo nile (It is telling me to come back home)
(Repeat)

The grass is greener where you water the ground
That’s what I found – when I took the ride
I realized the mountain I’ve been climbing
Is nothing but sand
I didn’t know I already had the answer
No I didn’t know
But if I had known
The life I was searching for
Was looking me right in the eye
If I had known
The life I was searching for
Was already my own

(Refrain)

Ko ma si, ko ma si o (There is none, There’s none oh)
Ko ma si eni ti o dabi re Oba mi o (There’s no one like you my Lord)
Iberu ko si, ko si fun mi o (I have no fear, I have no fear in me)
Nitori iwo nikan soso l’oba mi, l’ojo gbogbo (For you alone are forever my Lord)

Refrain:
There’s nobody like you Lord
There’s nobody like our God
There’s nobody like You Lord
Like You Lord, like our God

Igbati, igbati o, Igbati omije ba n bo o (When my tears overwhelm me)
Mo mo ‘pe iwo l’abo o (I know that you are my refuge)
Iberu ko si, ko si fun mi o (I have no fear, I have no fear in me)
Nitori iwo nikan soso l’oba mi, l’ojo gbogbo (For you alone are,  forever my Lord)

(Refrain)

When I searched the highest mountains; looked for You in deepest valley
Searched the rivers; small and shallow; deep and wide o, broad and narrow
I realized there is no one like you; In the earth and in the skies too
Ko ma si, ko si no-one like you, No one, No one

(Refrain)

So I lift Your Name up higher
Celebrate You louder
Lift your Name up higher
I’ll sing it louder and shout it higher (repeat)
