Hands That Welcome Life

A heartfelt tribute to African village midwives — wise women who guided mothers through childbirth with love, prayer, and herbal knowledge.

Lyrics

Before hospital, before machine

Village mothers no walk alone

Wise hands dey wait in the night

Life dey come, life dey come

Ehhh yaaa ehhh

Life dey come

Life dey come

Ehhh yaaa ehhh

Life dey come again

Mama no fear, strong woman rise

Village moon dey shine for your eyes

Grandmama gather round the fire

Speaking wisdom, lifting higher

Warm water ready, herbs dey near

Hands of comfort remove the fear

No woman walk this road alone

Village love dey carry am home

Mama no fear, strong woman rise

Eh-heyyy, rise mama rise

Hands of wisdom dey by your side

Eh-heyyy, life go shine
