Mbongeni Ngema, Leleti Khumalo, Miriam Makeba - Thank You Mama lyrics

Leading the struggle with nothing
In your hands
Can bring confusion in the family
I miss those days of jubilation we mama yeah
(Conviviality)

Leading the struggle with nothing
In your hands (Nothing in your hands)
Can bring confusion in the family (Family)
I miss those days of jubilation we mama yeah
(Conviviality) days of happiness
(Days of happiness)
When a family sat round the fire
Those, were the days of stability
We mama yeah (Conviviality)

I wanna thank you mama (Thank you)
Thank you baby
(Thank you mama for everything that
You have done for me)
It was my responsibility

Since I was a little girl
When I was laying on your back
Taking me to church
