Mama Vivian's Song
A song made by Aare Femi Folorunsho
(Soft talking drum melody)
Iya Zobo, we miss you, Mama.
Toju, Nathaniel, Alero, Isaiah… we here.
Blessing and Samuel too, they remember your smile.
The house is quiet now, the light don fade away
We look for your face every time we start the day
Toju and Nathaniel, we try to stay so strong
But without our Mama, the night is way too long
Alero and Isaiah, we carry your memory tight
You are the star that guide us through the darkest night
Mama Vivian, the wind blow but you remain
Our hearts are heavy, dancing in the rain
You give us everything, your love was pure and true
Mama, oh Mama, we dedicate this song to you
Blessing and little Samuel, they calling out your name
They ask for Grandma, but nothing is the same
Your zobo was the sweetest, your laughter was the best
Now you gone to heaven, gone to take your rest
We keep your spirit living, in everything we do
Even when the road is hard, we walking close to you
Mama Vivian, the wind blow but you remain
Our hearts are heavy, dancing in the rain
You give us everything, your love was pure and true
Mama, oh Mama, we dedicate this song to you
(Slow, sparse marimba notes)
God keep her safe, keep her in your light
She was our everything, shining so bright
We cry today, but we know you watching down
With a smile on your face and a golden crown
Mama Vivian, the wind blow but you remain
Our hearts are heavy, dancing in the rain
You give us everything, your love was pure and true
Mama, oh Mama, we dedicate this song to you
We miss you, Mama.
Rest in peace, Iya Zobo.
Blessing, Samuel, Toju, Nathaniel, Alero, Isaiah…
We love you forever.
(Fading talking drum)
