Verse 1
Mummy Emily, you don give us life
No be small thing, you carry us nine months
Your love no go tire, even when the well run dry
You share your last rice, make sure we survive, abi
Every scar on your hand tell story of sacrifice
Every grey hair on your head worth more than diamonds
You pray for us morning, noon, and night
Your prayers don shield us from every trouble

From Ibadan to wherever you lay your head
Your children scatter scatter, but your love bind us tight

Every word of wisdom you speak reach our soul
Mummy, you never complain, you never break
Your heart too big, your faith too strong
