Intro] (
Mmm,
yeah)
Rest
well,
Mama
Oforiwa
I
hear
your
whisper
in
the
wind
[Verse 1] The
house
is
quiet
now,
the
halls
feel
so
long
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
[Chorus] Oh,
Mama
Oforiwa,

bobbo,
Gideon,
and
Abeyku,
grandchildren

auntie
Ahinba
refrɛwo,
grandma
refrɛwo
We
are
calling
your
name (
Ooh,
Mama)
Yes,
you’
re
safe
in
the
arms
of
grace
tonight
Rest
well,
Mama
Oforiwa,
in
the
light
[Verse 2] 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)
[Chorus] 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
[Bridge] 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)
[Verse 3] 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)
[Chorus] 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
[Outro] Rest
well,
Mama
Oforiwa (
Mmm,
yeah)
Safe
in
the
arms
of
grace
I’
ll
see
you
again
one
day
Rest
well,
Mama. (
Ooh,
ooh)
