I remember the laughter in the living room
Now the silence is a ghost inside the hall
My world stood still when they called my name
To say my father-in-law, he had to leave
It feels like the ground is shifting underneath my feet
My brother-in-law gone, now the circle is incomplete
I'm looking for the strength to carry on today
But the tears just keep falling in a heavy gray
Mama, please stop crying, wipe the tears away
I know it hurts to lose them, day after day
I'm here for you, even when I'm breaking down inside
We gotta be strong, nowhere left to hide
Akure, stop crying, Terkuma, let it go
We'll find the peace that we used to know
Every night I lie awake and I call out their names
Wondering if the heaven really feels the same
My mama, you are the world to me, the only light
Watching you fade is the hardest part of the fight
It feels like a storm that won't ever pass
Shattered dreams lying like broken glass
But God is the only one who can fill the hole
He's the only one who can heal a tired soul
Mama, please stop crying, wipe the tears away
I know it hurts to lose them, day after day
I'm here for you, even when I'm breaking down inside
We gotta be strong, nowhere left to hide
Akure, stop crying, Terkuma, let it go
We'll find the peace that we used to know
(No dulling...)
Though the fire burns, we are still standing here
Searching for the truth through all of this fear
We take it to the altar, we take it to the throne
We are not walking this path all alone
Mama, please stop crying, wipe the tears away
I know it hurts to lose them, day after day
I'm here for you, even when I'm breaking down inside
We gotta be strong, nowhere left to hide
Akure, stop crying, Terkuma, let it go
We'll find the peace that we used to know
(Shey you dey whine me?)
It's okay to let it out, Mama
We are still here
Just us, together
(No wahala, no wahala...)
