He met her on a Friday... the 27th of May
Her brown skin from Mother's clay and eyes that take you far away
As she spoke he wore a smile, inviting her to stay a while
Cowrie shells, barefoot his style
She's so beguiled
For love - a kiss will bring to you each day
Trust, for love - promise to take your fears away
So for love - forever in the heart it plays
Just for love - remains
Doo b doo...Love
She hums a solemn melody but how she rocked oh so sweet
The smell of all my favorite eats... my Grandma's memory
He holds on to his father's hand, a part of him this little man
So proud, happy is he
One day he'll grow up to be
You are my Lifeline
You are my Obatala
You are my Voice of reason
You're my Everything
This treasure we're born to find... illuminates heart, soul and mind
Like a child innocent be, so divine truly free
Who's everything so true, beauty sees inside of you
My heart beats for the first time
Open my eyes!
