🎵 COME BACK HOME (Yorùbá Anthem) 🎵 [Intro] Ah-ah-ah Ọmọ Yorùbá, where you dey? From Lagos to Ibadan, Abeokuta to Akure From Ilorin to Ijebu, Ekiti to Osogbo It's time to come back home. [Verse 1] We get culture, we get pride, we get history, From the days of our fathers, we dey build legacy, Hard work in our blood, excellence naturally, Ọmọ Yorùbá stand up, show your identity. Lagos na our heartbeat, shining by the sea, Marketplace of dreams and opportunity, No be by quarrel, no be by hostility, Na by unity, investment and prosperity. [Pre-Chorus] Build the schools, build the towns, build the industries, Support your people, support your communities, If we join hands, who fit compete with we? Yorùbá spirit no dey accept defeat. [Chorus] Come back home, ọmọ Yorùbá come back home, Let us build together, let us stand as one, Lagos to the world, let the story be told, Our heritage priceless, more precious than gold. Come back home, ọmọ Yorùbá come back home, Raise the culture high, let the talking be done, From the East to the West, from the South to the North, Ọmọ Odùduwà rise and move forward. [Verse 2] Speak your language proudly, never let it fade, Teach the children where we come from and the paths we paved, Invest in the future, let foundations be laid, Generations to come go appreciate what we made. No waiting for permission, no waiting for applause, Great nations rise because their people know the cause, From farms to technology, from markets to the ports, Yorùbá excellence dey speak without force. [Bridge] Ká ṣiṣẹ́ pọ̀, ká kọ́ ilé wa, Ká gbé ilẹ̀ wa ga, ká fọ́mọ wa lára, Ọjọ́ tuntun ń bọ̀, ìràwọ̀ wa ń tàn, Ọmọ Odùduwà, rise again and stand. [Final Chorus] Come back home, ọmọ Yorùbá come back home, The future dey call us, make we answer as one, Our story no go end, our journey just begun, Yorùbá to the world, forever we move on. Come back home, ọmọ Yorùbá come back home, With wisdom and with strength, we go carry on, From Lagos to Ibadan let the drums be heard, Unity and progress be the final word. [Outro] Ọmọ Yorùbá, dide... Ọmọ Odùduwà, dide... The future is ours to build... Come back home...
