Iam alone, a single mother with children and no helper
My man was betrayed by friends and victimised by the war
My land is ruined and the chidren i bear are cursed
For none lives long enough to see the dawn of the day
And if they do they dont, get to see the next day
My days are full of torment and my nights are haunted
Mourns have befriended me and laughter is a wish
A wish to come true someday but so impossible to reach
Where I stand no other woman dares
A land so scorched by the sun and droughts
Famine is an everyday thing and death is no news to me
And where i sleep, the sun blazes to the extremes.
A land of struggle, a land of pain is what Iam
