Lyrics
The Message:
Ìlànà ìgbésẹ̀ ènìyàn rere
The steps of a righteous man
wá l’áti ọ̀dọ̀ Olúwa wá
are established by the Lord
Ó sì ṣe inú dídùn sí ọ̀naa rẹ̀
And He delights in his way.
Bí ó ti lẹ̀ ṣubú
Though he may fall,
A kì yíò taá nù pátá pátá
He shall not be utterly cast down;
Nítorí tí Olúwa di ọwọ́ọ rẹ̀ mú
For the Lord upholds him with His hand.
Èmí ti wà ní èwe
I have been young,
Báyìí
Èmí sì ti dàgbà
And now I am old;
Síbẹ̀
Ẹ̀mi kò tíi rí kí á kọ olódodo s’ílẹ̀
I have not seen the righteous forsaken
Tàbí kí irú ọmọ rẹ̀ máa ṣ’agbe ónjẹ
Nor his descendants begging for bread.
Aláàánú ni òhun ní’gbàgbogbo
He is ever merciful
A máa yáni
He lends to others,
Asì máa bùsi fún ni
And He blesses for them.
Bí o bá yí s’ápá òtún
When you turn to the right hand
Tàbí apá òsì
Or when you turn to the left,
Etí ìrẹ yíó ma gbọ́ oun kan lẹ́yìn rẹ wípé
Your ear shall hear a word behind you, saying,
Ọ̀nà n’ìyí
“This is the way,”
Máa rìn nínúurẹ̀!
“Walk in it!”
Chorus:
Ariwo ọjà yín pani o o o o
The noise of the market is killing me!
F’ọ̀nà ilé hàn mío
Show me the way home!
Ràn mí lọ́wọ́
Help me,
Ràn mí lọ́wọ́ kín délé
Help me to get home!

That I may not fade off on the way home like smoke or vapour
Ọkàn mín fà sí ọ
My soul yearns for you
Múmi dé ibùgbéè rẹ
Take me to your dwelling place
OoooOo
(Oreoluwa David)
My mind; Ooooo my mind
My Soul; be still as His glorious light fills my way.
Chorus:
Ariwo ọjà yín pani o o o o
The noise of the market is killing me!

Just keep showing me the way home
Ràn mí l’ọ́wọ́
Help me,
Ràn mí l’ọ́wọ́ kín dé ilé
Help me to get home.
About Song:
This “Divine Piece” draws heavily from the Bible (specifically Psalms, Psalm 37:23-25 and Isaiah 30:21),
And the “Home” (Ilé) refers to a spiritual dwelling or Heaven, representing a place of ultimate peace and rest away from the “noise of the market” (the distractions and struggles of the world).
Home is where God is!
Your Mind 💜 is Home if God is.
