Maisha(original) |
Alone and listening to the light of the moon |
An orphaned child cried to the shadows |
Alone and listening to the light of the moon |
Maisha prayed for someone to save her |
She’d wandered for so very far |
That she no longer knew her way home |
The whole world knows her story |
But no one knows her name |
Moon, if you are there |
Return so that she might be comforted |
Moon, if you are there |
Return so that she can sleep |
Moon, if you are there |
Return so that she might be comforted |
Moon, if you are there |
I am begging for Maisha |
Return for Maisha |
dedicated to the child soldiers in Northern Uganda. |
(translation) |
Alone and listening to the light of the moon |
An orphaned child cried to the shadows |
Alone and listening to the light of the moon |
Life prayed for someone to save her |
She’d wandered for so very far |
That she no longer knew her way home |
The whole world knows her story |
But no one knows her name |
Moon, if you are there |
Return so that she might be comforted |
Moon, if you are there |
Return so that she can sleep |
Moon, if you are there |
Return so that she might be comforted |
Moon, if you are there |
I am begging for Life |
Return for Life |
dedicated to the child soldiers in Northern Uganda. |
