[Verse 1] I walked through dust with a tired name Carry my shame, but I won't stay the same Ash on my tongue from the things I fled Still I heard mercy knocking in my head Old chains rattle when the moon hangs low Bad thoughts whisper, but they lose their glow I bent my knee where the river bends Heaven knows how a broken soul mends (damn temple) [Pre-Chorus] If the night is long, then teach me to stand Put holy fire in my trembling hand When the shadows come, I won't run blind There is a louder voice inside [Chorus] Oluwa call, I answer Oluwa call, I rise Darkness breaks when You move near Truth comes back to life Oluwa call, I answer (Oluwa call) Oluwa call, I rise (Oluwa call) What You plant in the spirit No one can deny (damn temple) [Verse 2] I saw greed eat from a silver plate Saw proud men laugh while they sealed their fate Gold in the mouth, but the heart stayed cold All that glitter turns to dust and mold So I give my bread to the hungry hand I keep my word like a solid land Plant good seed where the rain can find A clean heart grows in a crooked time [Pre-Chorus] If the night is long, then teach me to stand Put holy fire in my trembling hand When the shadows come, I won't run blind There is a louder voice inside [Chorus] Oluwa call, I answer Oluwa call, I rise Darkness breaks when You move near Truth comes back to life (damn temple) Oluwa call, I answer (Oluwa call) Oluwa call, I rise (Oluwa call) What You plant in the spirit No one can deny [Bridge] Tell the liar, "You are finished" Tell the wound, "You will heal" Tell the soul that lost its footing "Stand up, stand up, stand still" I was made for more than running More than fear and borrowed pride When the trumpet of mercy sounds I will not hide [Final Chorus] Oluwa call, I answer Oluwa call, I rise Darkness breaks when You move near Truth comes back to life Oluwa call, I answer (Oluwa call) Oluwa call, I rise (Oluwa call) What You plant in the spirit No one can deny Oluwa call, I answer Oluwa call, I rise Live in truth, walk in light Till my final night
