Era ile, era ile

Ko to mo pe looto o n be l’oke
You don’t have to wait till you feel the pain
You can start right now
It’s not too late
It’s not too late, to be grateful
No amount of rule books in the world
Can ever know
to teach you how to be yourself
Instead you are just someone else
No amount of talking or just friendly intervention
Can teach you when to up and go
Can tell you when it’s overload
When you just can’t see the future
When you just can’t see the light
You always got to put on a fight
Don’t be crazy, it won’t break ye
You have to know when it’s over
it’s over
Alleluia, it’s a new year
I’m hoping for a better life
Praying that nobody’s story
Turns out like mine
The only thing I know is fear
Even those with good intention disappear
All that I could feel was pain
As strangers came and took
My soul away
Like a deadly hurricane
I know my life would never
Be the same
[CHORUS x2:]
Where do you go when
You’re by yourself
Who comes along when you
Cry for help
I know I can’t change the past
But as the river keep flowing
I’d keep on moving on
