Mzee alisema hakuna cha bure
Huo msema tumeutafsiri kinyume
Hata shule kuiingiza mtoto
Lazima utoe mchoto
Kupata simu ni balaa
Road license bei nafuu utanunua
Kupoteza ID ni mashaka
Twaarudisha Jamhuri yetu nyuma

Nchi ya kitu kidogolyrics from museke.com
ni nchi ya watu wadogo
Ukitaka chai ewe ndugu nenda Limuru

Hata nyumbani ukipatwa na majambazi
Kupiga 999 wasema, 'Sisi hatuna gari
Lete elfu tano ya petroli, saidia utumishi'
Mahakamani hela ndio haki
Kwa elfu chache mshtakiwa ndiwe ms

O: Ngatiende tiende mberi
(Lets move moving forward)
E: Wajua Upendo hauna mfano hauna adui kaka

But still we’re keeping time
We’re facing forward looking up
Forgetting what’s behind

Every day is not a holiday
My life's like a subway o
I know this love don't last

Look at me tell me what you see
Do you believe this love is real o
I know this love don't last

I have come from faraway
To see this go down the drain
I have waited patiently
And this is what I get
Emotionally failing me

My whole wild world is caving in
I try so hard to express myself but the woman in me
Oh oh oh don't fade away

Chorus
My mama say baby be careful
If any body comes to say I love you, oh oh oh oh
My papa say baby I warn you
If anybody comes to say oh, I love

It's been rough
It's been tough
Sometimes we gave up, oh yeah
Many years, a lot of tears
And there were fears, oh yeah

Osee, osee, osee, osee, osee, osee yei (2x)

Keep moving on, keep moving on, Ghana

We'll speak one tongue
Protecting our culture
For the children and the future
We'll toil the earth (we'll toil the earth)
We will research

You say you give everything
And I don’t give it back
And you say you give honesty
And all I give is the hand
And you try to get close to me
And I only run and hide
And you show every part of you
And I only show one side

Please believe
Just believe
I can’t help for being this way
It’s not so easy to change your lifetime
I’m begging, pleading, trying to say

Chorus
Please don’t stop believing in me
Please don’t stop believing in me
Please don’t stop believing in me
Cos I’m trying to change in every word

Your life it is an open book
And mine is tight and sealed

Seems like just yesterday, left home so far away
Memories remind us that destiny would find us
Sooner or later, north south pole to the equator
Anywhere on this planet, even if we don't plan it

I just wanna feel good everyday
I wanna wear smile upon my face
I wanna feel the joys of the day
I wanna feel alight in every moment
Said I won't wast time on feeling blue
I won't waste time on things I cannot change
I'm gonna live these days as best as I can
Doing everything that feels right

Singing la la la la lala la la...

I wanna hear the laughter of a child
I wanna feel the hug from a loving friend
I wanna hear "I love you" every now and then
I wanna show somebody that I care
'Cause feeling good is a choice that we all make
Just like a smile is a small effort you make
