*You Are Not Alone – Tribute to FUOYE Fathers*
_By Prof. Adebola A. ADERIBIGBE – Father’s Day, 15 June 2025_
(Key: C Major | Tempo: Slow Ballad – 76 BPM)
Verse 1
You rise each day with books in hand,
A marker, a class, a voice that stands.
From Ado to Oye, rain or sun,
You teach with heart, your race not done.
The cost is high, the fuel runs dry,
Yet still you go, you never sigh.
Through Ikole’s road or Ido’s gate,
You show love through every weight.
Chorus
🎵 You are not alone, you are not unseen,
Though pay comes late and days are lean.
Keep pressing on, though under strain,
May you see reward before it rains
Verse 2
You prophesy in quiet ways,
Through words you plant, through how you pray.
Not just a grade, not just a score,
You shape the minds we can't ignore.
And though the world may miss your worth,
You build a future from this earth.
With every lecture, pain or cheer,
Your impact echoes year to year.
Final Chorus
🎵 You are not alone, you are not forgotten,
Your seeds are deep, your work not rotten.
You lead with purpose, soul by soul,
Dear FUOYE father, we make them whole. 🎵
