[male vocals] Nna,
the
sun
sets
but
the
light
remains
Mama
Fanny,
we
call
your
name
Eighty-nine
years
ago,
the
journey
started
fair
But
early
clouds
gathered,
stripping
tender
care
Mother
left
so
soon,
just
a
child
of
few
Father
took
another,
and
the
world
felt
new
Though
your
mind
was
sharp,
bright
in
every
class
At
twelve
years
old,
you
watched
your
childhood
pass
Married
off
too
young,
a
heavy
cross
to
bear
Oh
Mama
Fanny,
life
was
never
fair
Mama
Fanny,
you
live
forever
Though
you
left
in
twenty-one,
we
sever
never
Eighty-four
years,
a
legacy
of
grace
We
see
your
spirit
in
this
very
place
Mama
Fanny,
dead
but
alive
in
our
soul
You
made
us
steady,
you
made
us
whole
In
that
marriage
house,
another
world
you
found
With
five
strong
sons
and
three
daughters
on
the
ground
Eight
precious
lives
you
nurtured
through
the
pain
Sharing
your
husband,
standing
in
the
rain
Working
till
your
hands
were
calloused
and
worn
Sacrificing
everything
since
the
day
you
were
born
Rose
and
Mike,
we
remember
every
word
you
said
Even
now,
Mama,
you
are
never
truly
dead
Mama
Fanny,
you
live
forever
Though
you
left
in
twenty-one,
we
sever
never
Eighty-four
years,
a
legacy
of
grace
We
see
your
spirit
in
this
very
place
Mama
Fanny,
dead
but
alive
in
our
soul
You
made
us
steady,
you
made
us
whole
Chai!
The
struggle
was
deep
but
your
heart
was
gold
Stories
of
your
strength
will
always
be
told
Oma
licha,
you
fought
the
fight
so
long
In
every
heartbeat,
you
are
the
song
Eight
children
rise,
we
stand
upon
your
feet
Your
memory
is
the
rhythm,
the
drumbeat
in
the
street
From
Enugu
to
the
world,
your
name
will
ring
To
the
heavens
above,
the
angels
will
sing
Rest
in
peace,
Mama,
your
work
is
done
You
are
the
moon,
you
are
the
morning
sun
Mama
Fanny,
you
live
forever
Though
you
left
in
twenty-one,
we
sever
never
Eighty-four
years,
a
legacy
of
grace
We
see
your
spirit
in
this
very
place
Mama
Fanny,
dead
but
alive
in
our
soul
You
made
us
steady,
you
made
us
whole
Mama
Fanny,
you
live
forever
Mama
Fanny,
gone
but
not
forgotten
Chop
life
in
heaven,
Mama
We
love
you
always,
Mama
Fanny
Forever
alive.
