[Verse]
I waka through the dust with a pen for shield
War for the outside, but my heart no yield
You call my name, say, “Báwo ni, my dear?”
I found small peace whenever you come near
[Pre-Chorus]
Mo ń wa ọ̀nà, I dey search my way
Even when the night try to steal my day
Your two eyes show me what truth can be
No map in my hand, but you dey lead me
[Chorus]
Shadow, shadow, follow where I go
Love inside the battle, still it fit grow
Mo fẹ́ràn rẹ, make the whole world know
From the ruins I discover who I be, oh
[Verse 2]
Short words, slow breath, heartbeat under stone
I wrote your story when I felt alone
No soldier fit conquer the dream we hold
Our scars turn pages, our future unfold
[Bridge]
If the drums of war call my name tonight
I go choose your hand, I go choose the light
Ọlọ́run guide us, keep our spirits strong
Two lost souls finding where we belong
[Outro]
Shadow no be master, shadow only trace
I found my own voice when I found your face
