(Soft, melancholic piano chords fade in)
(Gentle, breathy vocal ad-libs)
Ooh, mama.
We miss you.
Rest in peace, Nne Okoye.
Mrs. Chidinma says she’s looking at the sky,
She misses you more than words could ever try to clarify.
Sweet mother of a heart so pure and gold,
A story of your love, forever to be told.
She carries the weight of a silent, empty space,
Longing for the sunlight of your gentle, loving face.
Oh, the silence is a mountain, heavy and deep,
In the quiet of the night, it’s you she wants to keep.
Adieu, Mama, you are the star above,
We’re walking in the memory of your endless love.
Nne Okoye, you were one in a million, it’s true,
Our hearts are broken, mama, walking home to you.
Rest in peace, sweet soul, in the garden of light,
We’ll carry your fire through the longest night.
Baba K is whispering, asking the question why,
"Maka, why did you leave us?" beneath this empty sky.
Who is going to call me Owa now that you are gone?
Who will call me the man who passes men before the dawn?
Mummy, I’m missing you in every single breath,
It’s a bitter truth to swallow, this shadow we call death.
Adieu, Mama, you are the star above,
We’re walking in the memory of your endless love.
Nne Okoye, you were one in a million, it’s true,
Our hearts are broken, mama, walking home to you.
Rest in peace, sweet soul, in the garden of light,
We’ll carry your fire through the longest night.
Emeka is wishing for just one more day,
To tell you thank you in a grand and loving way.
He wanted to bring you a G-63 AMG,
To show you the world, to set your spirit free.
Even in death, you’re the mother he adores,
Walking through the silence of these open, lonely doors.
Chuks Interior remembers when you saved his soul,
You stood in the gap when he was losing all control.
You’d say, "Leave Chukwudi alone," with a lion’s heart,
You kept us together when the world pulled us apart.
Ezinne, your kindness is a legacy we hold,
A story of a mother more precious than gold.
Adieu, Mama, you are the star above,
We’re walking in the memory of your endless love.
Nne Okoye, you were one in a million, it’s true,
Our hearts are broken, mama, walking home to you.
Rest in peace, sweet soul, in the garden of light,
We’ll carry your fire through the longest night.
Rest in peace, Nne Okoye.
We love you so much.
Till we meet again, mama.
