(Oh, Mama...)
(The pain is deep, but God knows best)
(We love you, always)
Oh death, tell me why you took my Mama away
Gladys Osuagwu, you were the light of my day
You are the best mom that walked on this earth
I thank the Lord for the day of your birth
I pray to God, let your soul find its rest
For all the suffering, you gave us your best
Oh, Mama, I truly love you
In my heart, you'll stay forever true
No Mama be like you, you were one of a kind
Leaving all your children, but you're still on my mind
Oh, Mama, we really miss you so
It's hard to say goodbye and let you go
Me, Onyeka, I say I miss you today
The grandchildren cherish you in every way
Chief Joseph, your husband, he feels the cold
Missing the stories and the love that you told
We remember you in everything we do
Every step we take, we are walking with you
Oh, Mama, I truly love you
In my heart, you'll stay forever true
No Mama be like you, you were one of a kind
Leaving all your children, but you're still on my mind
Oh, Mama, we really miss you so
It's hard to say goodbye and let you go
Mama, bikonu, just bless us from above
Don't let us shed tears, shield us with your love
Protect us till we meet to depart no more
Walking through the gates of that heavenly door
(Nne oma, I know you love me too)
Rest in peace, it's the hardest thing to say
But I know God knows the best for us today
Oh, I say bye-bye, though the silence is deep
Mama, bye-bye, in your grace, go and sleep
We love you... Mama, we love you.
(Rest on, Mama...)
