From the red earth to the deep blue sea
Your wisdom crossed the world to me
Through fire chains and broken skies
You kept the sacred alive
Yoruba voices still speak today
Through drum and prayer through ashé
What they tried to erase with pain
You carried forward in every name
Olódùmarè source of all
Your light still answers when we call
Thank you yoruba for the sacred flame
For the orishas for the names
Through every storm through every scar
You showed us who our guardians are
Ashé in breath ashé in bone
Your knowledge made this world our home
Ellegwa opens every way
Ogún gives strength for every day
Oshún heals the deepest ache
Yemàyà calms the waves we face
Shàngó brings the fire and truth
Obàtálá restores the soul and makes it new
Thank you yoruba for the sacred flame
For the orishas for the names
Through every storm through every scar
You showed us who our guardians are
Ashé in breath ashé in bone
Your knowledge made this world our home
Through cuba brazil through puerto rico
Your spirit moved where the winds would go
You lived in drums and whispered prayers
In quiet rooms and open air
Not written down but passed on by voice
We kept the faith alive through every choice
Thank you yoruba for every prayer
For every story and every care
Your wisdom lives in what we do
In how we heal in how we move
Ashé forever strong and true
We honor you we thank you
Olódùmarè we give you praise
Orisha walk with us always
From ancient roots to future days
Ashé ashé ashé
