[male

Soft

atmospheric
hum)
Yeah
This
one
is
for
you,
Neema
And
for
you,
Marion
Distance
doesn't
change
the
truth
Listen
I
sit
here
in
the
silence
and
I
track
the
passing
days
Wondering
if
you’
re
growing
in
a
thousand
different
ways
I
heard
the
news
from
miles
away,
it
hit
me
like
a
spark
You’
re
shining
in
the
classroom,
baby,
lighting
up
the
dark
Number
four
of
two
hundred,
yeah,
you
rose
above
the
rest
I’
m
proud
to
call
you
daughter,
you
truly
are
the
best
My
Neema
Wambui,
your
name
is
like
a
prayer
I’
m
sorry
for
the
spaces
where
I
wasn't
really
there
Oh,
Neema,
my
daughter,
you’
re
the
star
inside
my
sky
I’
m
miles
away
in
body,
but
my
heart
is
standing
by
And
Marion,
thank
you
for
the
love
you
gave
so
free
For
raising
up
our
daughter
when
you
had
to
carry
me
I
love
you
both
so
deeply,
more
than
words
could
ever
show
Even
in
the
absence,
you’
re
the
only
ones
I
know
I
know
the
weight
of
single-handed
work
is
hard
to
bear
I
see
the
sacrifices
in
the
gray
within
your
hair
Marion,
you’
re
a
queen,
you
stood
firm
through
the
storm
You
kept
our
little
baby
safe,
you
kept
her
spirit
warm
To
Neema,
keep
on
reaching,
keep
your
eyes
upon
the
goal
You’
re
brilliance
in
motion,
you’
re
the
healing
for
my
soul
I’
m
working
for
a
future
where
the
distance
disappears
To
wipe
away
the
longing
and
to
dry
up
all
the
tears
Oh,
Neema,
my
daughter,
you’
re
the
star
inside
my
sky
I’
m
miles
away
in
body,
but
my
heart
is
standing
by
And
Marion,
thank
you
for
the
love
you
gave
so
free
For
raising
up
our
daughter
when
you
had
to
carry
me
I
love
you
both
so
deeply,
more
than
words
could
ever
show
Even
in
the
absence,
you’
re
the
only
ones
I
know
Time
is
such
a
thief,
it
steals
the
moments
that
we
need
But
love
is
like
the
water
for
a
planted,
hungry
seed
I’
m
sorry
I
was
absent,
I’
m
sorry
for
the
strain
I’
m
begging
for
a
season
just
to
wash
away
the
pain
Neema,
you
are
brilliant,
keep
climbing
to
the
top
My
love
for
you,
my
darling,
it
will
never
ever
stop
So
keep
this
song
as
promise,
keep
this
song
as
light
When
the
world
gets
heavy
in
the
middle
of
the
night
I’
m
coming
back
to
bridge
the
gap,
to
hold
you
in
my
arms
To
shield
you
from
the
sadness
and
to
keep
you
from
the
harms
Marion,
you’
re
the
hero,
you’
re
the
backbone
and
the
grace
I’
m
counting
down
the
seconds
till
I
see
your
lovely
face
Oh,
Neema,
my
daughter,
you’
re
the
star
inside
my
sky
I’
m
miles
away
in
body,
but
my
heart
is
standing
by
And
Marion,
thank
you
for
the
love
you
gave
so
free
For
raising
up
our
daughter
when
you
had
to
carry
me
I
love
you
both
so
deeply,
more
than
words
could
ever
show
Even
in
the
absence,
you’
re
the
only
ones
I
know
Number
four
out
of
two
hundred
My
genius,
my
heart
Marion,
you
did
it
You’
re
the
best
of
us
Wait
for
me
I’
m
coming
home
soon (
