I Wish You Never Died versuri

Versuri Godwin Elijah – I Wish You Never Died lyrics

I’ve been crying for many years now
But I’m not noticed
Cos my eyes have no tear anymore
You shouldn’t have acquainted yourself
With those evil friends of yours
And now they have made mama a widow
Today I’m so sad
Cos it pains me the most
You’re there and don’t know what we’re going through

Daddy-o, Daddy-o, Daddy-o
The only hope
I wish you never died
Cos your death has made us not to go to school
And mama has suffered so much
Daddy-o, Daddy-o, Daddy-o
The only hope
I wish you never died
Cos your death has made us not to go to school
And mama has suffered so much

They were more than forty times
I saw mama kneeling down begging you
That the people sitting beside you
Were so dangerous in the bar
If you wanna drink
You’d better bring it home and drink alone
Because you were the only son to your late dad

More than many nights I heard
Mama waking up telling you
That the people who claimed to be your friends
Were nothing but just hypocrites
If you want bush meat
You’d better bring it home and eat alone
Because you were the only son to your late mum

Many years have passed
You were still living the same life
Mama said she has given up
Wasting words on an ear-hole
Then it made me a slave
And a scapegoat
The careless life you lived
Almost ruined my future
Look at me in the picture
And tell me what you see, Daddy
You will see that I am truly a scapegoat

Daddy-o, Daddy-o, Daddy-o
The only hope
I wish you never died
Cos your death has made us not to go to school
And mama has suffered so much
Daddy-o, Daddy-o, Daddy-o
The only hope
I wish you never died
Cos your death has made us not to go to school
And mama has suffered so much

Daddy-o, Daddy-o, Daddy-o
The only hope
I wish you never died
Cos your death has made us not to go to school
And mama has suffered so much
Daddy-o, Daddy-o, Daddy-o
The only hope
I wish you never died
Cos your death has made us not to go to school
And mama has suffered so much

Daddy-o
I wish you never died
We really wanted to go to school to learn
Just like every other people in the world
But now, now that you are no more
Tell me how I’m gonna meet up
With my education
The rich relatives we have never cared

Daddy-o, Daddy-o, Daddy-o
