Through the mist of tears in your eyes On my childhood memory I know the truth in your smile I know the truth in your smile Piercing through the gloom of my ignorance There is mama lying down sleeping Very ill and heart crying Wondering wondering wondering What is this world coming to Is it right That such small children must feed for themselves Is it right Mothers struggling in this uncertain world Is it right Heaping trouble on an old lady's head Is it right? I'm asking you dammit!!! Chorus: Thula mama thula mama Thula mama thula mama Tomorrow it's gonna be better Tomorrow it's gonna be better Na hi ronama Na hi ronama Thula don't cry Thula mama Thula mama
