Emmanuel Jal - See Me Mama Lyrics lyrics

V1 Hello mama the last time I saw you was when I was seven I heard the news that you were taken to heaven The soldier said in a way that is soft so I would know that you died I cried and I cried and I asked God why The worst part was when we capsized in the ship I saw parents coming running for their kids as for me no one did Running from the war tone city of Bentiu I remember you but here I am mama here I am mama Wish you could me now hope your up in the cloud looking down feeling proud Chorus I wish you could see me mama after all that Drama Now am in the big leagues doing big things you will be so proud of me I wish you could see me mama after all that drama Your son is in the big leagues doing things you will be so oh oh V2 Mama I thank you for sending Emma Mccune; Angel to the rescue one afternoon She kept me in tune and Mrs Mumo and Joseph Mumo, Petrolina and Angelina My shame has turn to honour the horror and trauma is gone before I was scorned Now I can confess I bless the day I was born on and on and on CH V3 Ah I live the way you taught me I turn the other cheek Like last week while walking down the street, a white man offended me then the police apprehended me Instead of resisting and insisting I remember the words blessed are the meek and before I speak I seek the advice from your sweet voice in my head praying saying Go on rise reborn like the dawn of the morn from a brand new day I stand proud to be your child and as you rest a little while I hope I make you smile your child CH V4 Mama if you were alive you'd be so proud of me my name is in the magazine my face is on TV I travel far and wide Europe and America I speak to leaders, presidents, prime ministers I'm still a soldier fighting with my pen and I hope some day we'll all meet again Until that day I pray your alright this not good bye this is just good night
