Cry no more
You've got wings to fly
The mountain high
Through the storms and through the rain
Through the stormy weather when your eyes are heavy
Cheta na Chukwu no nso (God is close)
Today is a new just like a birthday
Never had a sad day
Though it may delay
Just keep on moving and keep the fire burning
'Cause I see a new day
As we all are moving along
You are the best yes, yes among the rest
You will be the next
Don't you ever give up 'cause I'm

Ebezina, ebezina

Ebezina, ebezina

Don't you know that you are a champion
After all you have been through

Meaning & Inspiration
Testimony is a Nigerian gospel song of encouragement for people who are going through a hard process. The opening says the way is not easy, but the singer is a testimony and urges others to keep believing and keep pushing forward, promising that the listener will be the next to receive. The chorus repeats "I'm a testimony" with the Igbo refrain "Ebezina."
The verses tell the hearer to cry no more, because wings are given to fly over the mountain, through storms and through rain. A line in Igbo reminds that God is close, and the song speaks of a new day, a fire kept burning, and coming out stronger after all that has been faced. The themes follow Revelation 12:11 on the word of testimony, Isaiah 40:31 on strength like wings, and Psalm 126:5 on tears turning to joy. The lively repetition gives the song a bright, victorious tone suited to a congregation.
