Old Age versuri

Versuri Godwin Elijah – Old Age lyrics

You are growing up
Everyday, you know
You are growing up
Day by day
As you are growing up
You don’t know tomorrow
You are growing up
Knowing not the future
When you’ve grown
Your mother won’t again buy clothes for you
When you’ve grown
Your father won’t again buy shoes for you
Time has come
For you to begin to find your way
Traveling around the world
To meet up
You may go far away
Wherever life directs
Climbing the highest mountain
No matter where you go
No matter how far you’ve gone
Always come back (to mama)
Always come back (to mama)
Always come back (to mama)

Remember
When you were a little child
Your parents
Didn’t stay away from you
When they grow old
Always try to be there
Never forget that
Old age is difficult
Remember
When you were a little child
Your parents
Didn’t stay away from you
When they grow old
Always try to be there
Never forget that
Old age is difficult

There was a boy in my town
Many years ago
He travelled to the city
He was the only child of his only mother
But he stayed 21 years before going home
He stayed 21 years
Without calling mama on the phone
But when he returned
His mother’s room was locked
When he broke it
His mother’s bones were what he saw
Nne, Nne

He made me to remember
What my mama used to tell me
Wherever that I may go
In this world
Always come back (to mama)
Always come back (to mama)
Always come back (to daddy)

Remember
When you were a little child
Your parents
Didn’t stay away from you
When they grow old
Always try to be there
Never forget that
Old age is difficult
Remember
When you were a little child
Your parents
Didn’t stay away from you
When they grow old
Always try to be there
Never forget that
Old age is difficult

Remember
When you were a little child
Your parents
Didn’t stay away from you
When they grow old
Always try to be there
Never forget that
Old age is difficult
