My friend, eii...
This is for the one who gave it all.
I love my mother, with all of my truth
With kindness from my heart, since my days of youth
Deep in her heart, there is something so rare
Honesty, integrity, none can compare
They call her Baby Rose, but her strength is steel
Rosaline Yeabu Kamara, the love that I feel
Eight children you birthed, with courage so strong
One went to heaven at just three years young
Baby Rose, oh my Mama, my first love, my home
You raised us alone, you never let us roam
Single-handedly, special mother, you stood so tall
You gave us everything, you gave us your all
Oh Mama, I love you, with sincerity true
Everything I am, Mama, is because of you
Former Councillor, you served your people well
Soon to be retired teacher, your stories we will tell
You taught the nation, you taught us in the home
Your wisdom is the seed that wherever we roam
We carry your spirit, we carry your light
Through the darkest days, you made the future bright
Wonim? You sacrificed your own comfort for us
With grace and with faith, and without any fuss
Baby Rose, oh my Mama, my first love, my home
You raised us alone, you never let us roam
Single-handedly, special mother, you stood so tall
You gave us everything, you gave us your all
Oh Mama, I love you, with sincerity true
Everything I am, Mama, is because of you
Eii, looking back at the paths that we crossed
Counting the victories, forgetting the cost
Your tears were the rain that helped us to grow
To the woman I love, the only one I know
Oyiwa, Mama, you are the queen of my soul
In this broken world, you made me feel whole
Now the years are passing, your hair turns to grey
But the warmth in your touch doesn't fade away
I promise to honor the lessons you taught
To cherish the battles that you bravely fought
From the classrooms to home, your legacy stays
I’ll sing of your glory through all of my days
Ah ah, Mama, your crown is so bright
You guided our steps through the cold of the night
Baby Rose, oh my Mama, my first love, my home
You raised us alone, you never let us roam
Single-handedly, special mother, you stood so tall
You gave us everything, you gave us your all
Oh Mama, I love you, with sincerity true
Everything I am, Mama, is because of you
Baby Rose, my strength, my pride
With you by my side, I have nothing to hide
Yoo, sleep well in the peace that you earned
My heart is for you, with the love that I learned
Mamo, Mama... mamo.
