Rest Well Mama Oforiwa

(Mmm, yeah)
Rest well, Mama Oforiwa
I hear your whisper in the wind
The house is quiet now, the halls feel so long
I’m searching for the rhythm of your favorite song
You held the pieces when my world would fall apart
Left a lasting legacy etched inside my heart
I miss the way you smiled when the morning came
Now I’m just whispering your name, calling your name
Oh, Mama Oforiwa, you’re resting in the light
Beyond the shadows of the lonely night
Your love was a beacon, steady and true
Now heaven is blessed with the spirit of you
(Ooh, Mama)
Yes, you’re safe in the arms of grace tonight
Rest well, Mama Oforiwa, in the light
You taught me how to stand when the winds would blow
You gave me all the strength that I’ll ever know
I see your image in the mirror when I look at my face
I feel your presence in this empty space
It’s hard to breathe without you by my side
But I’ll keep the love you gave deep inside
(I need you, Mama)
Oh, Mama Oforiwa, you’re resting in the light
Beyond the shadows of the lonely night
Your love was a beacon, steady and true
Now heaven is blessed with the spirit of you
(Ooh, Mama)
Yes, you’re safe in the arms of grace tonight
Rest well, Mama Oforiwa, in the light
I know you’re watching from the stars above
Surrounded by peace and eternal love
I’ll carry your memory everywhere I go
More than you’ll ever know, more than you’ll know
(Oh, baby)
Time moves slowly since you had to leave
It’s hard to find the faith, it’s hard to believe
But I’ll honor your life in everything I do
Walking the path that you led me to
(Yeah, for you, Mama)
Oh, Mama Oforiwa, you’re resting in the light
Beyond the shadows of the lonely night
Your love was a beacon, steady and true
Now heaven is blessed with the spirit of you
(Ooh, Mama)
Yes, you’re safe in the arms of grace tonight
Rest well, Mama Oforiwa, in the light
Rest well, Mama Oforiwa
(Mmm, yeah)
Safe in the arms of grace
I’ll see you again one day
Rest well, Mama.
(Ooh, ooh)
