Mama's Thread

[Verse 1]
Rain on this window, a cold silver sheet
Not like the warm drum on our tin roof street
They shout my name under lights I don't know
But your whisper, na the only seed wey dey grow

[Chorus]
Mama's thread, e dey pull me from afar
Woven gold for this lonely superstar
Mama's thread, pulling steady through the dark
Stitching hope back inside my tired heart

[Verse 2]
I see your hands patching my jeans with a smile
Saying, “This world is a cloth, wear it for a while”
Each city pattern, a place I get lost in
'Til I feel that golden seam against my skin

[Bridge]
Every long mile is a stitch in the design
Omo mi, she go say, ma gbagbe ile
(My child, she would say, don't forget home)

[Outro]
Mama's thread…
Still pulling me home.
