(Whispered) Dad... Mom...
Can you hear me from the clouds?
I need you now, more than ever.
Oh, the road is getting cold. Mr. Alfred Onah, my hero and my guide
And Mama, by your side, nowhere left to hide are heavy, locked against the light
And every single shadow stretches through the night
I’m trying to hold on, but the spirit’s feeling thin
Seeking for the strength to let the morning in
I miss the way you answered when I called your name
Without you here, the world just doesn't feel the same Looking down from heaven, please send us your peace
Praying for the struggle and the wahala to cease
Dad and Mom, send a sign, guide me through the dark
Light a little fire, let me feel a spark
Oh, Amina’s waiting, heart is beating slow
Looking for the shelter, nowhere left to go The heat is burning hot, the journey is so long
I’m searching for the rhythm to my favorite song
No silver spoon to hold, no friends to lean upon
I’m crying in the silence until the break of dawn
I wish I could turn back the hands of time so fast
To live within the moments that were meant to last
But now the walls are broken, the roof is caving in
I’m fighting for a miracle, where do I begin? Looking down from heaven, please send us your peace
Praying for the struggle and the wahala to cease
Dad and Mom, send a sign, guide me through the dark
Light a little fire, let me feel a spark
Oh, Amina’s waiting, heart is beating slow
Looking for the shelter, nowhere left to go God open every way, unlock the heavy gate
I’m standing in the hallway, surrender to my fate
(Hallelujah) Send the help I need
(Hallelujah) Let my spirit feed
I know you’re watching over, I know you’re standing near
Whisper to my soul, and wipe away the tear Looking down from heaven, please send us your peace
Praying for the struggle and the wahala to cease
Dad and Mom, send a sign, guide me through the dark
Light a little fire, let me feel a spark
Oh, Amina’s waiting, heart is beating slow
Looking for the shelter, nowhere left to go I miss you, Dad and Mom.
Watching over Amina.
Send me peace... send me home.
