Uh….

Verse I

In the middle of the trial, we find a place to laugh
In the heart of wicked justice, we’ve forged ahead to grow
Bumpy roads and darkened homelands don’t kill our will you know; Still we gotta go.

Verse II
When the road that stands before you, looks like it never ends
When the fire would devour you, or so it seems my friend,
Well the more you sing, the more you, will make that trouble bend
Sing and let it end

Chorus:
(I am glad) Glad to walk the earth
(I am glad) That I was born a Nigerian
(I am glad) Glad to be alive, glad that I was born

(I am glad) Oh I am happy
(I am glad) To be a part of destiny
(I am glad) Glad to walk the earth, glad that I was born

Verse III
In the absence of a visa, with nowhere left to go
We must stay and build up this our illustrious land of gold
Happily with hearts of bliss as we work it yes we know
Oh we’ll let it grow (oh yes)

Chorus:
(I am glad) Glad to walk the earth
(I am glad) That I was born a Nigerian
(I am glad) Glad to be alive, glad that I was born

(I am glad) Oh I am happy
(I am glad) To be a part of destiny
(I am glad) Glad to walk the earth, glad that I was born

Bridge 2ce:
There’s a place inside the dreamer
That is reaching for the stars
If I could only fly, I’d make it up high
I’ll make it to the sky

Oh I am happy, yes I am (I am glad, I am glad)
Oh I am glad to be alive (I am glad, I am glad)
If I could only fly, I’d make it up high
I’ll make it to the sky

Oh I am happy, yes I am (I am glad, I am glad)
Glad to be alive (I am glad, I am glad)
If I could only fly, I’d make it up high
I’ll make it to the sky

Glad to be alive (I am glad, I am glad)
Glad that I was born (I glad, I am glad)
If I could only fly, I’d make it up high
I’ll make it to the sky……..

Lara George - Kole Baje (lyrics)

Ise t’Oluwa se o ah (Ko le baje)
And all that’s lovely in your life (KO ni daru)
When it seems like all has ended know (Ko le baje)
Ko le baje, ko le baje o (Ko le baje)
Ko ni daru, ko ni daru o (ko le baje) (2ce)

Verse:

Sittin by my window
Thinkin about my life
It seems so empty
Is it all a lie
Needin some answers
Needin reasons why
The road is so rough
Feelin like I just might die (but)

Repeat Chorus:

One day, one day
One day, I know I’ll sing a song
Know I’ll tell a story, a song of praise
I’ll sing of how I was delivered
How I came from misery to ecstasy

Kole mo’le, ko’le mo’le
Bi’mo rere, bi’mo rere
Ire owo l’odun mo’dun
Ayo m’ayo titi aye
Gbogbo ire mi ko ni daru o
Ko le baje

And all that’s lovely in your life (Ko ni daru) When it seems like all has ended know, just know, just know

Rara o ko le daru mo o (ko le baje)
Ah ko le baje o (ko le baje)
Ko le baje (ko le baje)

Lara George's Bio

Lara George was born in Lagos, Nigeria as the fourth of five children to Mr. and Mrs. Oluwole Bajomo. She began her musical journey in her alma mater school choir- Queens’ College Yaba Lagos- where she was first given the opportunity to take a lead role in a song.

Years later, Lara has transformed into the professional whose inspirational style of delivery has helped define the new sound and direction of Nigerian music. While studying Architecture at the University of Lagos Akoka, Lara joined the fellowship music team on campus, where she met Ty, Emem, and Dapo. The bond tightened, and further yielded the group KUSH.

The influence of western and homeland tunes in their upbeat sound overwhelmed the populace, grew their fan base, and earned them huge accolades and achievements. The group, however, eventually split up. In spite of all the challenges encountered in the music industry and after a 2-yr break from the scene, lara re-launched her music career with a solo debut Album titled ‘Forever In My heart’ with Hit Single “Ijoba Orun’.

The much-celebrated album earned Lara several nominations and awards such as ‘Voice of the Year 2008’ Nigeria Music Awards, as well as ‘Song of the Year’ and ‘Female Artiste of the Year’, Nigeria Gospel Music Awards 2009 . As a singer, Lara’s music inspires all who listen to it. Her soulful music has inspired and changed a great number of lives.

Also, as a songwriter, she draws from all her experiences in life and the challenges she has encountered and conquered--- “I could wake up in the middle of the night with a tune in my head, and not until I have expressed my thoughts with the tune will I return to sleep. At present, Lara George is about to release her sophomore album. The 14 track self titled album is an expression of her versatility. The style is more urban or ethnic contemporary as Lara likes to call it, and yet has elements of hip-hop, salsa and soul.

There are two featured artistes in collaboration with her on this album: Lord of Ajasa in ‘Run with You’ and Midnight Crew’s Pat Uwaje King in ‘Halleluyah’. ‘Ko le baje’ – also a hit single from the new album – is currently enjoying massive airplay on all radio stations. Lara George is happily married to Gbenga George who is a legal practitioner and a music entrepreneur, and they both have a son - Adeoba Alexander George.
