Hello mama the last time I saw you was when I was seven I heard the news that you were taken to heaven
The soldier said in a way that is soft so I would know that you died I cried and I cried and I asked God why
The worst part was when we capsized in the ship I saw parents coming running for their kids as for me no one did
Running from the war tone city of Bentiu I remember you but here I am mama here I am mama
Wish you could me now hope your up in the cloud looking down feeling proud
Chorus
I wish you could see me mama after all that Drama
Now am in the big leagues doing big things you will be so proud of me
I wish you could see me mama after all that drama
Your son is in the big leagues doing things you will be so oh oh

Mama I thank you for sending Emma Mccune; Angel to the rescue one afternoon
She kept me in tune and Mrs Mumo and Joseph Mumo, Petrolina and Angelina
My shame has turn to honour the horror and trauma is gone before I was scorned
Now I can confess I bless the day I was born on and on and on

Ah I live the way you taught me I turn the other cheek
Like last week while walking down the street, a white man offended me then the police apprehended me
Instead of resisting and insisting I remember the words blessed are the meek and before I speak
I seek the advice from your sweet voice in my head praying saying
Go on rise reborn like the dawn of the morn from a brand new day
I stand proud to be your child and as you rest a little while I hope
I make you smile your child

Mama if you were alive you'd be so proud of me my name is in the magazine my face is on TV
I travel far and wide Europe and America I speak to leaders, presidents, prime ministers
I'm still a soldier fighting with my pen and I hope some day we'll all meet again
Until that day I pray your alright this not good bye this is just good night
