[Intro]
Mawu ayiram makpo, mawu ayiram makpo
[Verse 1]
Ayiram makpo, I hear your name in the wind
Gne kouhin mawu akpe, stories around the bend
Ta na, we walk through days that glow and bend
With every step we share, the quiet mouths begin to mend
[Chorus]
Ayiram makpo, guide me through the night
Mawu ayiram makpo, your voice is our light
Ma djivi mawu ayiram, hearts beat in time
Ta na gne, we rise, we climb
[Verse 2]
Waves of memory roll like drums in the dark
Akpe on the lips, a spark in every heart
We carry the voices of those who left their mark
Together we wander, together we mark the arc
[Chorus]
Ayiram makpo, guide me through the night
Mawu ayiram makpo, your voice is our light
Ma djivi mawu ayiram, hearts beat in time
Ta na gne, we rise, we climb
[Bridge]
If the road forgets our steps, we write them in the air
With courage as our compass, we breathe a fearless prayer
[Chorus]
Ayiram makpo, guide me through the night
Mawu ayiram makpo, your voice is our light
Ma djivi mawu ayiram, hearts beat in time
Ta na gne, we rise, we climb
[Outro]
Mawu ayiram makpo, mawu ayiram makpo
We rise, we rise, we rise again
