The lyrics of Tim Godfrey’s Thank God emphasizes being thankful for the blessing of not being God but rather humans. The repeating line “Thank God say man no be God o” is a reminder that humans are not perfect and are bound to make mistakes despite trying their best to progress in life. The song also highlights the struggle of dealing with people who can sometimes be untrustworthy or changeable. The lyrics of the song have phrases like “Man dey lie hun hun and man dey swaf” which is to say that humans lie and are unpredictable as they can fail to keep promises or change their opinion on a matter.
The song is a reminder that humans are not infallible and depend on God’s protection and guidance to make it through life. It also serves as a calling to be thankful for life’s challenges that push humans out of their comfort zone and lead to personal growth. Tim Godfrey’s Thank God is an uplifting and spiritual song that emphasizes gratitude and the importance of holding on to faith in the face of adversity.
