THERE WAS A TIME
There was a time I fought the sun,
I looked unto it's face and spat on it
It was all because of you.
There was a time I seek for magic,
Magic that will trap your soul
Soul filled with love and all of it,
It was all because of you.
It was all because of you
I wrestled a Lion,
Just as Orunmila had instructed
It's the only way to win your heart.
It was all because of you
I visited Iya osun Modupe,
Alfa Abdul Waheed
And Pastor James
All to get the secret to your heart.
There was a time I cried
Cries that made up a sea,
Sea of your love
Love of yours which I seek.
There was a time I perished,
Just to proclaim you my love
Now I live again,
And I am still loving you.
