Nubiyan Twist and Seun Kuti - Carry Me

It's a wonderful sacrifice

Mother, you carry me, no tears, no objection
My blessing, my blessing
Tell me I don't know of your pain and your struggles
My lesson, my lesson (one)
It takes a village to get you through your battles
My people, my people

You give me signs
Sweetheart, my eyes
It's a wonderful sacrifice
You give me signs
Sweetheart, my eyes
Sweetheart, my eyes (huh)

(One)

Give me to my eyes
You keep me from the shady minds (mama, mama)
Through the fire, through the ice (ay, ay, ay)
It's a wonderful sacrifice
Bring the light to my life
You keep me from the shady minds (mama, mama)
Through the fire, through the ice (ay, ay, ay)
It's a wonderful sacrifice (mama)

You give me sight without my eyes
Without my eyes
You give me sight without my eyes
Out my eyes

Mother, you carry me, no tears, no objection
My blessing, my blessing
Tell me I don't know of your pain and your struggles
My lesson, my lesson (one)
It takes a village to get you through your battles
My people, my people
It takes a village to get you through your battles
My people, my people

(Mama, mama)
You give me signs
Sweetheart, my eyes
(Mama)
It's a wonderful sacrifice
(Mama, mama)
You give me signs
(Mama)
Sweetheart, my eyes (mama)
Sweetheart, my eyes (mama)
My people, my people

My people, my people

My people, my people
Uh, woo
My people
