Eyes That See the World

This is the kind of music I’m bringing you, baby
This is the kind of song we use to move
What God says will be done, baby
This is the kind of song we are playing for you
Take it easy, that's how we move
Eyes that see the world
God sees the world
He sees the world
It’s with joy that music flows, baby
Eyes that see the world
God sees the world
He sees the world
It’s with joy that music flows, baby
Eyes that see the world
God sees the world
He sees the world
It’s with joy that music flows, baby
You know Umu Obiligbo has arrived
This is the kind of song we use to move
You and your beauty are up high
Akunwafor and my brother are playing music
Okpuozor, my brother, is in the village
When the music plays
Umun Obiligbo has come to greet you
Eyes that see the world
God sees the world
He sees the world
It’s with joy that music flows, baby
Eyes that see the world
God sees the world
He sees the world
It’s with joy that music flows, baby
Eyes that see the world
God sees the world
He sees the world
It’s with joy that music flows, baby
The sound of Umu Obiligbo has arrived with music
This is the kind of music we bring, baby
You know, slowly, slowly, and gradually, slowly, slowly
That's how we play music
The music is smooth
Take it easy, that’s how we move, baby
This kind of music is enjoyable
Umu Obiligbo has arrived
Take it easy, that's how we play for you
What will happen will happen
What will happen will happen
It is with joy that I’m playing music, baby
He who acquires wealth
The law is that it's his wealth that he has acquired
You know the hand can’t cover the moon
It’s with joy that I’m saying this
Umu Obiligbo has arrived
This is the kind of music we play for you
What will happen will happen
Who is another person’s God?
I ask, who knows what tomorrow will bring?
Do you know what tomorrow will bring?
That is the question I’m asking
Do you know what tomorrow will bring?
This is the kind of music we move with
When the music plays
Umu Obiligbo has arrived
Eyes that see the world
God sees the world
He sees the world
It’s with joy that music flows, baby
Eyes that see the world
God sees the world
He sees the world
It’s with joy that music flows, baby
Eyes that see the world
God sees the world
He sees the world
It’s with joy that music flows, baby
When we were quiet
People were talking
They said we were useless
That we were worthless
When we were growing up in the village
People were gossiping
Then they thought
That I’m a nobody
When we became successful
Everyone who was jealous
Became openly jealous
Because that’s how life is
The rich calls the poor a nobody
He has the power to wake up tomorrow
And the poor man will become rich
That’s how life is
The rich calls the poor miserable
He has the power to wake up tomorrow
And the miserable man will become rich
Then he will be ashamed
He who called the other person useless
He has the power to wake up tomorrow
And the useless person will become rich
You will regret it
You and I
Who is useless?
You and I
Who is poor?
You and I
Who is miserable?
That is the question I’m asking
You and your beauty are up high
What I have to say is what I’m playing
Don’t judge your fellow human
Because there is no one without a fault
You that is pregnant today
Who knows if she will deliver?
Don’t mistreat your house help
Because you don’t know what tomorrow will bring
Life changes
That’s what I’m saying, baby
The conductor should speak up
The passenger should shut up
Why are you talking?
Do you know what tomorrow will bring?
That’s the question I’m asking you
He who knows the conductor
Life favored him
He thought he was something
Life is not easy
That’s what the music is saying
Akunwafor is the one doing it
He who mocks another
Are you giving me a challenge?
You told me to play my music
And I played my music
God bless you
That’s what the music is saying
I ask who owns the world by force
He who owns the world by force
Owns the world by force
Slowly, slowly, that’s how we release music
He who is poor has his time
When his time comes
When his time comes
Good things will come to him
That is the good news I’m bringing you
This is the kind of music we bring you
Eyes that see the world
God sees the world
He sees the world
It’s with joy that music flows, baby
Eyes that see the world
God sees the world
He sees the world
It’s with joy that music flows, baby
Eyes that see the world
God sees the world
He sees the world
It’s with joy that music flows, baby
Money attracts enemies
Money attracts problems
What is money all about?
Brother, wealth is good
People will come close to you
Your enemies will come for you
I won’t lie to you
Akunwafor is saying
Money is good for a young man
Money is beautiful
That is what I’m saying
Money attracts enemies
Money gives you confidence
Okpuozor my brother
That is what the music is saying, baby
This is the kind of song we play for you
This is the kind of music we are playing
Take it easy, that’s how we move
When the music is playing
Umu Obiligbo has arrived
Eyes that see the world
God sees the world
He sees the world
It’s with joy that music flows, baby
Eyes that see the world
God sees the world
He sees the world
It’s with joy that music flows, baby
Eyes that see the world
God sees the world

Then they thought
The music I’m playing is from God
That is what I use to move in my world
Use charm to play music?
That’s the question I’m asking
I wish it was charms that were used
Your eyes would have been blind
It is with joy that I move
