Fela Awoke (I Will Miss You)

Fela Awoke, the day they killed his mother

And told her her heart had guided him like no other

Then the soldier came with their boots and their guns

While the children played in the yard one by one

They threw her body from a window

And her soul took flight

They broke Fela's face, broke Fela's arm

Broke his heart with that sight

Mama I'ma miss you

And your oceans of smiles

I will miss you

And the sun in your eyes

Mama I'ma miss you

Like the rain miss the plains

I will miss you

Until I see you again

Bob Marley awoke, on the day that he left.

He said: "you know I gotta go now but still I feel so blessed..."

"...I spent a lotta days, with my woman and with my sess, yes..."

"...with my six string justice chanting down Babylon in the West."

Oh yeah, I will miss you

And your oceans of smiles

I will miss you

And the sun in your eyes

Mama I'ma miss you

Like the rain miss the plains

I will miss you

Until I see you again

I've been travelling for so very long.

Trying to find, some place that feel like home

And there are many things that you can take from me

But what you can't take away, is the love that is found,

In our sweet destiny

Yeah I awoke, the day Grandmama had her stroke

And I cried and I cried until the tears stopped my throat

You see: she was the gardener and I was the soil

She said: "boy you gotta long road, full of love but full of toil."

Mama I'ma miss you

And your oceans of smiles

I will miss you

And the sun in your eyes

Mama I'ma miss you

Like the rain miss the plains

I will miss you

Until I see you again
