Lyrics

[male

vocals] (

Slow,

steady

bass

line) (

Guitar

upstroke,

soft

and

reverb-heavy)

Yeah,

yeah

Searching

for

your

warmth

Twenty

years

and

the

fire

still

burns

low

Mama,

can

you

hear

me?

Osifo

raised

me,

watched

me

grow

in

the

light

But

it

was

you,

Mama,

who

held

me

tight

through

the

night

You

called

me

Onoriode,

meaning "

who

knows

tomorrow,

the

obataosu 1.

Teaching

me

the

wisdom

in

the

smallest

of

things

You

were

the

foundation,

the

rock

beneath

my

feet

Even

when

the

world

was

bitter,

you

made

it

sweet

You

looked

into

my

eyes,

saw

the

pain

before

the

tear

Disappearing

all

the

shadows,

wiping

away

every

fear

Emam

onime

doooo,

Grandma,

rest

on

Twenty

years

have

passed

since

the

day

you

left

me

But

your

spirit

is

a

beacon,

still

guiding

the

way

I

miss

you,

Mama,

more

with

each

passing

day

Emam

onime

dooooo,

let

the

ancestors

hold

you

near

In

the

garden

of

peace,

where

there

is

no

more

fear

I

remember

the

kitchen,

the

steam

rising

high

calling

noriode, "

loho,

zuka,

come

and

eat,"

was

your

daily

cry

For

the

three

of

us,

you

single-handedly

stood

tall

You

were

more

than

a

man,

you

caught

us

before

we

could

fall

In

the

heat

of

the

farm,

with

the

soil

on

your

hand

You

were

the

strongest

queen

to

ever

walk

the

land

Fishing

in

the

river,

working

under

the

sun

You

never

let

us

hunger,

until

the

day

was

done

Even

when

we

stubborn,

refused

to

take

a

bite

You’

d

make

sure

we

were

fed

before

we

slept

at

night

Emam

onime

dooooo,

Grandma,

rest

on

Twenty

years

have

passed

since

the

day

you

were

gone

But

your

spirit

is

a

beacon,

still

guiding

the

way

I

miss

you,

Mama,

more

with

each

passing

day

Emam

onime

doooooo,

let

the

ancestors

hold

you

near

In

the

garden

of

peace,

where

there

is

no

more

fear

Twenty

years

is

a

lifetime,

but

the

memory

is

fresh

Like

the

scent

of

the

rain,

like

the

life

in

your

flesh

Your

sacrifice

is

the

heartbeat

inside

of

my

chest

So

I

pray

for

your

soul,

I

pray

you

find

your

rest

Oh

Mama,

I

am

walking

the

path

you

laid

down

Wearing

your

love

like

a

golden,

holy

crown

Emam

onime

doooooo,

Grandma,

rest

on

Twenty

years

have

passed

since

the

day

you

were

gone

But

your

spirit

is

a

beacon,

still

guiding

the

way

I

miss

you,

Mama,

more

with

each

passing

day

Emam

onime

doooooo,

let

the

ancestors

hold

you

near

In

the

garden

of

peace,

where

there

is

no

more

fear

Rest

on,

Grandma

Twenty

years

down

the

line

I

still

feel

your

love,

it’

s

still

mine

Onoriode

remembers,

Mama

Sleep

well,

sleep

in

peace

I

remain
