Amope
She was the little girl we knew had no feet
She was the little girl we knew walked with her knee
She was the little girl we knew had it all hard
Amope... she was called
She was the girl who would always smile
She was the girl whose beauty captivates
She was the girl whose voice brings down rain
She was the girl that smiles and the sun stands still
Amope... she was called
And now, she is the lady who brought us fame
She is the lady that sits by the canvas
And all colours obey her calls
She is the lady who sings and your soul finds peace
Amope... she is still called
She is the lady who talks and rainbow appear
She is the lady who life gave shackles
Oh! with every reason to let go of life
She is the lady who never gives up
She is the ray of hope
She is the lady who walked with knees
Amope... she is still called
Now, she is a woman, with two kids
She is the woman with paintings
That adorns the wall of those in the corridor of power
She is a woman with a husband so handsome, you will ask, really?
She is the woman with album, so inspiring, it brings tears
She is the woman who sings and kings listen
Amope.. she is still called
A girl with disability
A lady with confidence and determination
A woman who is now an inspiration
~ Amope is a name given to a female child born in the south western part of Nigeria.
