You told me Semah no worry
That everything's gonna be okay
You are the father to the fatherless

You made the cripple man to walk
You are the lilly of the valley
You make impossible possible

Verse 2
I woke up Monday morning
I go to gym on a Tuesday
Then to the studio on Wednesday
I work it out till Thursday morning
I'll be chilling on a Friday
I play some shows on a Saturday
If You ask me what my best day is
Is when I praise You on Sunday morning
Pre-Chorus
Agam aturu gi mma mma
Mu na ezi n' ulom ga na eto gi ooo
Makana chi anyi di mma
Hallow be thy name

Meaning & Inspiration
“Most High” by Semah and Flavour is a praise song built on the title line, “God, you are the most high, hallowed be thy name.” The chorus repeats the phrase, which recalls the opening of the Lord’s Prayer in Matthew 6:9. The first verse recalls what God has done: the singer was told not to worry, and God is called a father to the fatherless, a miracle-working God who made the blind see and the lame walk and who makes the impossible possible.
The second verse is a light, personal weekly rundown, from the gym on Tuesday and the studio on Wednesday to shows on Saturday, and it ends with the singer’s best day being Sunday morning, when praising God. Igbo lines in the pre-chorus and outro, including “Chineke” and “Imela Papa,” add local flavor to the English praise.
The father to the fatherless echoes Psalm 68:5, and the title phrase is close to Psalm 83:18, which names the Lord as most high over all the earth.
