Lyrics

[female vocals] Oh,

nna,

you

are

gone

too

soon

The

silence

in

the

house

is

heavy

today

I

sit

here

looking

at

your

old

wooden

chair

Thinking

of

the

times

we

spent

under

the

morning

sun

You

worked

until

your

hands

were

worn

and

tired

Just

to

make

sure

we

had

a

place

to

call

our

own

We

were

different,

two

ships

passing

in

the

night

I

did

not

understand

your

ways,

you

did

not

understand

mine

But

through

the

struggle,

through

the

pride

and

the

pain

Your

love

was

the

foundation

underneath

the

rain

Oh,

my

father,

my

beloved

daddy

The

world

feels

empty

now

that

you

are

gone

All

the

arguments

have

faded

into

the

shadows

Only

your

kindness,

only

your

heart

remains

Rest

well,

nna,

in

the

light

of

the

ancestors

We

carry

your

spirit

everywhere

we

go

Ndi

Isimmuo

Obosi

Ukwala,

we

stand

in

unity

Ndi

Isimmuo

Obosi

Ukwala,

we

stand

in

unity

Your

passing

brought

the

healing

that

we

waited

for

We

lay

down

the

anger,

we

let

go

of

the

past

Forgiveness

is

the

harvest

of

the

seeds

you

sown

You

were

a

good

man

who

wanted

others

to

bloom

Even

when

they

turned

their

backs

and

walked

away

Now

the

family

gathers,

the

circle

is

whole

Your

legacy

is

the

peace

inside

our

soul

Oh,

my

father,

my

beloved

daddy

The

world

feels

empty

now

that

you

are

gone

All

the

arguments

have

faded

into

the

shadows

Only

your

kindness,

only

your

heart

remains

Rest

well,

nna,

in

the

light

of

the

ancestors

We

carry

your

spirit

everywhere

we

go

Chai,

the

weight

of

the

years

is

lifting

We

choose

to

remember

the

man

who

tried

so

hard

The

man

who

loved

his

people,

the

man

who

stood

tall

We

honor

you

today,

daddy,

you

were

our

star

Oma,

watch

over

us

from

the

high

places

above

We

are

walking

the

path

you

cleared

for

our

feet

No

more

bitterness,

no

more

holding

on

to

sorrow

We

are

building

a

future

from

the

lessons

you

gave

Rest

in

the

garden

where

the

palm

trees

sway

Your

memory

is

a

song

that

will

never

fade

Oh,

my

father,

my

beloved

daddy

The

world

feels

empty

now

that

you

are

gone

All

the

arguments

have

faded

into

the

shadows

All

the

arguments

have

faded

into

the

shadows

Only

your

kindness,

only

your

heart

remains

Rest

well,

nna,

in

the

light

of

the

ancestors

We

carry

your

spirit

everywhere

we

go

Rest

well,

daddy,

nna,

rest

well

We

are

holding

your

love

in

our

hearts

forever

Peace

has

come

home

to

stay

at

last

Goodbye,

until

we

meet

again.
