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. |

| 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 |
