[Intro]
Oh mama, hear my heartbeat call
Across the world, I’m chasing after all
[Verse 1]
Every thought of you a lighthouse in the rain
I pray for blessings, let the warmth remain
Forever and ever, hope in every breath
Even when I’m lonely, you’re my quiet depth
[Pre-Chorus]
Simanyi najeva, I’m dreaming wide and far
Aka mwenyu mwenyu kajjaahh, reach for every star
[Chorus]
Smile, kyikumi kyendaahh, let the sorrow kiss
Jompaaaa, buli lwenkulaba, I’m calling out your name
Ntiijjjjaaaahhhhh, hold me till the morning light
Eyyyy, you’re the compass in my night
[Verse 2]
Everything now is better, mercy in the grind
Kolabiseko, money’s gloss but peace I’ll find
Money is my problem, but love will be the cure
Getting my girl in London, USA, close and secure
[Pre-Chorus]
Jamaican Kenya Dubai, China on the map
Tatinjaaa Rwandan, adjusting every gap
[Chorus]
Smile, kyikumi kyendaahh, let the sorrow fade
Jompaaaa, buli lwenkulaba, I’m calling out your name
Ntiijjjjaaaahhhhh, hold me till the morning light
Eyyyy, you’re the compass in my night
[Bridge]
From everywhere I wander, you’re the melody I keep
Through every passport stamp, your memory sings me to sleep
[Chorus]
Smile, kyikumi kyendaahh, let the sorrow fade
Jompaaaa, buli lwenkulaba, I’m calling out your name
Ntiijjjjaaaahhhhh, hold me till the morning light
Eyyyy, you’re the compass in my night
[Outro]
Money may whisper loud, but love will guide me through
To my girl and to tomorrow, I’m coming back to you
