Miss Whitney

I know that when wewe look at me
There's so much that wewe just don't see
But if wewe would only take the time
I know in my moyo you'd find

Oh a girl who's scared sometimes
Who isn't always strong
Can't wewe see the hurt in me?
I feel so all alone

I wanna run to you, I wanna run to you
Won't wewe hold me in your arms and keep me salama from harm?
I wanna run to wewe but if I come to you
Tell me, will wewe stay au will wewe run away

Each day, each siku I play the role
Of someone always in control
But at night I come nyumbani and turn the key
There's nobody there, no one cares for me

Oh what's the sense
Of trying hard to find...

I believe the children are our are future
Teach them well and let them lead the way
Show them all the beauty they possess inside
Give them a sense of pride to make it easier
Let the children's laughter remind us how we used to be
Everybody searching for a hero
People need someone to look up to
I never found anyone to fulfill my needs
A lonely place to be
So I learned to depend on me

I decided long ago, never to walk in anyone's shadows
If I fail, if I succeed
At least I live as I believe
No matter what they take from me
They can't take away my dignity
Because the greatest upendo of all
Is happening to me
I found...
