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.
