Lyrics
Description
[Bridge / Chorus]
Ever since I lost my dad, everything changed
(me na pray, nikuone once again)
Missing till now, hatu jui if you okay
(me na pray, nikuone once again)
Aaaaah…
Me na pray, nikuone once again
Aaaaah…
Me na pray, nikuone once again
---
[Verse 1]
Stress in my head,..my people could tell
Kila sunrise feels like story from hell
If you’re gone, hope Heaven iku treat you well
If you’re out there.... I pray you break that shell
Mama still praying, eyes full of tears
Hoping, you’ll walk, through that door after years..
I keep checking my phone, waiting for your call
Hoping uta rudi, but the silence still on
June 10th, 2025, ilinipa scar, hizo news broke my heart
Staring at the stars, I just wonder where you are
They say time heals, but I’m still in the deep
Siezi sleep — hizi memo me na keep
People tell me “move on,” but how can I when
Half of my soul disappeared that day
Oh Lord, take this pain, gimme strength
[Bridge / Chorus]
Ever since I lost my dad, everything changed
(me na pray, nikuone once again)
Missing till now, hatu jui if you okay
(me na pray, nikuone once again)
Aaaaah…
Me na pray, nikuone once again
Aaaaah…
Me na pray, nikuone once again
---
[Verse 2]
Now I hustle every day with your voice in my head
(I wear your strength like a chain on my chest)
Hii track from your son — N'liandika nikiwa stressed
(Na the only wish, nikuone once again)
(Sometimes me na laugh just to cover hii pain
Sometimes me na talk to your photo in the rain
You taught me how to pray, to fight for my peace
Now even in the dark, I choose to live)
---
[Chorus – Final]
Ever since I lost my dad, everything changed
(And I pray, nikuone once again)
Missing till now, hatu jui if you okay
(And I pray, nikuone once again)
Aaaaah
Me na pray, nikuone once again
Aaaaah…
Me na pray, nikuone once again
