[Intro]
Mama... Mama o
Yeah... Harvey Boyo Reden
[Verse 1]
Dusty road wey I take comot
Sun dey shine but my heart dey hot
You say "Go my pikin, make we proud"
Your voice still dey ring for cloud
Months don pass, no see your face
Different land, different place
No quick money, no quick call
Network bad, I fit fall?
[Pre-Chorus]
But I know say you dey there dey wait
Mama, your love no dey late
Every prayer wey you whisper night and day
Dey follow me from far away
[Chorus]
Mama o, my Mama wey dey alive o
I dey halla your name from far away
Time and distance dey tear we apart
But your prayer dey follow my heart
Mama o, your pikin dey try
One day I go hold you tight inside
[Verse 2]
I dey see women for street wey pass
Nobody fit be like you, Mama
Your soup, your smile, your "how you dey?"
Na the thing wey make me pray everyday
I dey work, I dey pray, I dey fight
Through the darkness through the night
Your voice dey call me even for dream
Mama you be my everything
[Pre-Chorus]
But I know say you dey there dey wait
Mama, your love no dey late
Every prayer wey you whisper night and day
Dey follow me from far away
[Chorus]
Mama o, my Mama wey dey alive o
I dey halla your name from far away
Time and distance dey tear we apart
But your prayer dey follow my heart
Mama o, your pikin dey try
One day I go hold you tight inside
[Bridge]
Ẹwọ oriṣẹ mo gha... spirit dey lift me
iṣẹ oriṣẹ wàrà mi... your prayer dey guide me
Olodumare ṣungo olokun... Most High cover me
umalẹ okun... peace wey no dey end
Mama, your love be the fire I dey hold
Even with distance, I go never tire
[Outro]
One day I go run to your face
I go cry, I go dance for grace
Until then keep the light on for me
Mama o... my Mama wey dey alive
I dey come... just dey wait inside
Mama o... Mama o... Mama wey dey alive
