Big pot, my mentor, my light
Oh, Adesuwa, why did you leave me in the night?
Big pot, you taught me never to run away from truth
To stand on my feet through the struggles of my youth
You said, 'Fight the battle, I am right here by your side'
But then came November 15, the day my spirit died
You were my backbone, the one who held the flame
Now the silence is heavy when I whisper your name
Adesuwa, oh Adesuwa, where did you go?
They said you were resting, but the truth is low
Big pot, you left me all alone in this place
I am searching for shadows, for the smile on your face
Oh, Adesuwa, my heart is torn in two
I never thought I’d be walking this path without you
10 am that morning, you whispered you needed rest
I didn't know it was the final, final test
I wanted you to shout, to scold me like before
But silence is the guest knocking at my door
Your daughter is crying, she’s calling out your name
But the house is so empty, it’s not the same
Adesuwa, oh Adesuwa, where did you go?
They said you were resting, but the truth is low
Big pot, you left me all alone in this place
I am searching for shadows, for the smile on your face
Oh, Adesuwa, my heart is torn in two
I never thought I’d be walking this path without you
People told me you were the backbone of my soul
Now they’re all gone, and I’m losing all control
I will never forgive death for taking you away
Big pot, I’m lost in the dark of this day
I stand on my own now, just like you told me to
But every single step is a memory of you
I’ll carry your wisdom, I’ll carry the weight
Even though I’m bitter, even though I hate
That you had to leave me, that the sun had to set
Adesuwa, you’re the one I will never forget
Adesuwa, oh Adesuwa, where did you go?
They said you were resting, but the truth is low
Big pot, you left me all alone in this place
I am searching for shadows, for the smile on your face
Oh, Adesuwa, my heart is torn in two
I never thought I’d be walking this path without you
Big pot, stay with me in my dreams
Though life isn't ever as good as it seems
Adesuwa, sleep well, my heart is yours alone
Until the day I find my way back to your throne
Big pot... rest now.
