Mother's Milk

Suddenly she's crying when the sun dips in the sea Darkening the skies and all her fears She's hungry for what she knows, the very thing that I can't give A mother's milk to satisfy her tears And it makes me think about The possibilities abound A creeping, "What if you never come back?" And emptiness like night Could swallow all the light You don't know what you have until you lack Oh, eh Nakupenda Wewe Oh, eh Nakupenda Wewe The sunlight of a country and the palm trees of her sky The silent hanging guidance of the moon A woman is a nation, should be loved as just the same The future of the people in her womb Oh, eh Nakupenda Wewe Oh, eh Nakupenda Wewe Oh, eh Nakupenda Wewe Mpenzi Wangu Oh, Nakupenda Wewe
