Ayra Starr’s song “Orun” is a vulnerable plea for divine intervention during a period of deep personal struggle. The title, which means “Heaven” or “sky” in Yoruba, sets the stage for her cry to God (“Olorun”) for relief from an unending cycle of pain. The song reflects the hidden weight that comes with success, echoing the Yoruba proverb, “the one who wears the shoe knows where it pinches”.
[Verse 1]
Every day is just the same
No worries for tomorrow
I wish I didn't wake today
But no, I gotta face my pain
[Chorus]
Ọlọrun k'ọrun ke loni
Ọlọrun k'ọrun ke loni
I know I've been bad
But I'm sorry, I learned from my mistakes
You know what I need
[Verse 2]
I'm waiting for the rain (Uh-uh-uh)
I'm waiting for my skies to weep again, oh
I'm longin' every day
Mo n bẹbẹ for the waters
Ọlọrun k'ọrun ke loni
Ọlọrun k'ọrun ke loni
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 3]
I'm makin' history
I don't think there's ever been any like me from these parts
I should be happy, you'll agree
But no, ẹni to wọ bata, l'on mọ ibi to n ti ta l'ẹsẹ
[Chorus]
Ọlọrun k'ọrun ke loni
Ọlọrun k'ọrun ke loni
I know I've been bad
But I'm sorry, I learned from my mistakes
You know what I need
[Outro]
Ọlọrun k'ọrun ke loni
