I've been crying for many years now but running no tears
Cos my eyes have no tears anymore
You shouldn't have acquainted yourself with those evil friends of yours

And now they have made mama a widow
I'm so sad
Cos it pains me the most

You're there and don't know what we're going through



Daddy oh! Daddy oh! Daddy oh!
Daddy oh!
I wish you never died

Cos your death has made us not to go to school
And mama have suffered so much.



It's been more than fourty times i know that mama has kneeled and told you that the people living beside you were so dangerous
But look at you now being thrown into the bottomless pit

Upon you was the only son left
Everywhere i goes, people makes fun on me
Cos they knows i have no dad

And i am just a little boy
Some has made me their slaves
A comon slave

For Elijah Winowez to never have a brighter future
Look at me in the picture and tell me what you see, daddy
You will see that i am truelly a slave



Daddy oh! Daddy oh! Daddy oh!

Daddy oh!
I wish you never died
Cos your death has made us not to go to school

And mama have suffered so much.



Oh! My life is so terrible
I am only thirteen years now going through these difficulties
But i know i will be a hero if i am only thirteen years now writting down this sorrowful song

I pray for my brothers to never die so young
I pray for my sister, she will live eternal life
Then i pray for my mother to live long

Cos i will never like to shed this tears again, oh!
Daddy oh!
I wish you never died



Daddy oh! Daddy oh! Daddy oh!

Daddy oh!
I wish you never died
Cos your death has made us not to go to school

And mama have suffered so much.
