Kafayat Quadri - Iya (feat. Abidemi Alli-Odunsi)

The sun sets in the golden eye of the sky
The clay pot is broken
The journey starts in its weary miles unknown
My mother is wrapped in the wave of the wind
The dry leaves have dropped
Sands lust for sands
The dusty feet of earth is brown
The dane gun answers cold
Regiment ants run in disarray
The stream flows,she does not greet
The dog runs and heeds no hunters warning
The ears of today do not hear my mother speak

My mother
Do you remember the break of the hymen!
The cut of the binding chord
Do not deprive me the milk of your pregnant gourds...
And the long shawl of perseverance tears,I cannot mend
My mother turns at the echo of silence
Whoever knows the dove that perches that on branchless seas,should call my mother home
I will my wealth to time
I am the worm of her womb,the dream of her days,
The existence of her faith

My mother
Bring me back to the child I used to be
To the safety of the arms I first knew
Where God reigned supreme, to pamper the beauty of my innocent flaws
Your face in every mirror I see
I am here today to sing this lullaby softly
To tender your bed and nurture your sleep
Deep into the beauty of your sweat
I am sunken and grown,blown and sown unto farther fields with the seeds of your deeds.
I sail free in the sea of your love
The portrait of your careless laughters,I hold unto

My mother
This heart bleeds,the pains I cannot feel
Where are the stars that eulogise the night times dark
Where's the blazing crown of the noon Sun
The hands that wiped away my infant tears
That taught my faith not to fear
The sea prides in her robes of many waters
Earth,in her garment of littered sands
Gathering tales reknown of age
And I,I am at the helm of black rain clouds
Where little children run at play
Yes. The camels and the caravans have gone
The seasons have come to take their turns
The wandering fowls have gone to roost
Do not trouble the soul at rest
My mother blossoms underneath his sovereign care
My mother,this heart bleeds,the pain,I cannot feel
