Sharifa's Promise to Odeneho (Remix)

[female

vocals] (

Gentle

acoustic

guitar

picking,

soft

warm

bass)

I

am

reflecting

on

us

Sharifa

calling

out

to

you

My

king,

my

heart

I

sit

here

in

the

quiet

of

our

home

Counting

the

mistakes

that

made

you

feel

alone

I

know

I

called

you

by

the

wrong

name

in

the

light

And

it

cut

you

deeper

than

I

realized

that

night

I

spoke

without

thinking,

I

let

my

pride

hold

sway

And

watched

as

your

smile

slowly

faded

away

Abdul

Nasiru,

my

protector,

my

ground

I’

m

lost

in

the

silence

that

my

words

have

found

Oh,

Odeneho,

Bansi

Kanazue

Obuama,

my

heart

is

beating

just

for

you

I

am

sorry

for

the

hurt,

sorry

for

the

sting

I

want

to

be

the

peace

that

your

morning

will

bring

I

am

Sharifa,

your

wife,

through

the

joy

and

the

pain

Let

me

be

the

shelter

from

the

wind

and

the

rain

I

remember

the

day

we

promised

our

lives

To

navigate

the

storms

that

the

world

provides

I

want

our

marriage

to

be

a

garden

of

grace

I

want

to

see

the

sunshine

return

to

your

face

Born

again

in

my

love,

let

us

start

here

anew

I

am

reaching

out

my

hand,

reaching

out

to

you

I

didn't

mean

to

break

the

trust

that

we

share

I’

m

burdened

by

the

weight

of

this

heavy

despair

Oh,

Odeneho,

Bansi

Kanazue

Obuama,

my

heart

is

beating

just

for

you

I

am

sorry

for

the

hurt,

sorry

for

the

sting

I

want

to

be

the

peace

that

your

morning

will

bring

I

am

Sharifa,

your

wife,

through

the

joy

and

the

pain

Let

me

be

the

shelter

from

the

wind

and

the

rain

Can

you

forgive

the

woman

who

loves

you

the

most?

I

don't

want

to

be

to

you

just

a

haunting

ghost

Let's

pull

back

the

curtains,

let

the

light

come

in

I'm

ready

to

learn,

ready

to

begin

again

Oh,

Odeneho,

Bansi

Kanazue

Obuama,

my

heart

is

beating

just

for

you

I

am

sorry

for

the

hurt,

sorry

for

the

sting

I

want

to

be

the

peace

that

your

morning

will

bring

I

am

Sharifa,

your

wife,

through

the

joy

and

the

pain

Let

me

be

the

shelter

from

the

wind

and

the

rain

I

love

you,

my

Odeneho

I

am

yours,

truly

Sharifa

loves

you

Always,

always (
