Hassan, My Dear Son

Yeah, one love, one heart

Listen closely, my son, this message is for you

Hassan, my son, my blood, my pride

I know the road has been rough, keep your head held high

I been through a breakdown, lost in the grind for two weeks

But the strength in my spirit is the future that I seek

I’m still here in Congo, but the distance is fading fast

I’m coming to you, leaving the shadows of the past

Hassan, don’t you worry, don’t you fear

Your father is coming, the day is drawing near

Takwaba wiso umbi, no other father like me

I’m working for your future, just wait and you will see

Oh, Hassan, my son, keep your heart strong and true

I’m doing all this struggle just to get back to you

I know it’s been a season of heavy rain and doubt

But listen to my voice, know what I’m all about

Whatever the trouble, whatever the heavy load

I’m carving a new path, I’m walking on this road

I’m far away from home, but my heart is by your side

In every single struggle, there is nowhere left to hide

Hassan, don’t you worry, don’t you fear

Your father is coming, the day is drawing near

Takwaba wiso umbi, no other father like me

I’m working for your future, just wait and you will see

Oh, Hassan, my son, keep your heart strong and true

I’m doing all this struggle just to get back to you

Rise up, my child, let the sun shine on your face

We’re moving forward, winning in this life’s race

I’m coming soon, yeah, with blessings in my hand

We’ll stand together on the solid ground

Jah bless the bond that holds us tight

Leading us out from the dark into the light

I want you to see, I want you to know the way I live

Everything I have, is everything I give

From the distance I call, from the distance I sing

To the joy and the laughter that tomorrow will bring

Easy now, my son, the waiting is almost done

Like the clouds clearing out for the morning sun

Hassan, don’t you worry, don’t you fear

Your father is coming, the day is drawing near

Takwaba wiso umbi, no other father like me

I’m working for your future, just wait and you will see

Oh, Hassan, my son, keep your heart strong and true

I’m doing all this struggle just to get back to you

Yeah, I’m coming home to you, Hassan

One love, keep the faith

It won’t be long now

Jah bless, my son, yeah, we will be fine

I’m coming home.
