Nna, the heart carries what the mouth cannot say
Chai, life is a heavy burden, omo
I sit here in this quiet place to speak my mind
Big pot, the ones we trusted are the ones in line
To pull us down, the friends we thought were true
Are throwing stones at everything we tried to do
It is a bitter cup that we are forced to drink today
I’m pouring out my soul, I hope you hear what I say
Oh, Lawson is standing tall to shield the family
He fights the shadows while he’s drowning in his misery
But deep inside he is not happy, he is lost and blue
Because the light of his life is gone, he’s missing you
Oh, big sister, can you hear his silent cry?
He’s holding on to memories beneath the empty sky
Big pot, the trouble that we face is growing deep
Even when the world is tired, the secret sorrows creep
He smiles for us, he acts like he is strong as steel
But he is broken by the love that he can no longer feel
He cries in silence when the house is dark and cold
Giving us the silver while his own heart turns to mold
Oh, Lawson is standing tall to shield the family
He fights the shadows while he’s drowning in his misery
But deep inside he is not happy, he is lost and blue
Because the light of his life is gone, he’s missing you
Oh, big sister, can you hear his silent cry?
He’s holding on to memories beneath the empty sky
Protect him, heaven, watch over his family too
He gave us everything, oh Lord, see what he’s going through
He needs a miracle, a touch of peace to ease the pain
To wash away the sorrow like the Enugu rain
I miss you too, my sister, more than words can tell
Life is a battlefield where we are not doing well
But Lawson needs you, your spirit and your guiding grace
To bring the laughter back and find a resting place
Oya, let us pray for him, for his heart is torn in two
He carries all our burdens, he is waiting here for you
Oh, Lawson is standing tall to shield the family
He fights the shadows while he’s drowning in his misery
But deep inside he is not happy, he is lost and blue
Because the light of his life is gone, he’s missing you
Oh, big sister, can you hear his silent cry?
He’s holding on to memories beneath the empty sky
Chai, keep him safe, my sister, watch over him
Lawson is tired, the light is getting dim
Protect the family, let the peace finally bloom
And sweep away the shadows from this lonely room
Omo, we are waiting, we are hoping, we are still here.
