A Lament In the Streets

Longing of the heart, of the mind
Curiosity is killing, step by step
The moon and the stars-Insomniac
Who will end these queries
I hear them talk abut their sire's
"my father this, my father that"
Inside I'm void, empty of utterance
Dumb-my mum is
I desire to know the truth
Every time the sun moves
The wound deepens
I want to know my dad

I'm searching for my daddy
I'm searching for my daddy
If you happen to see him
Let him be informed
I'm still searching for him
Daddy-never called anyone so
Even if Ill only have a glance of you
Ill still search for you

Daddy, I have a lot of quizzing
Why you left me alone
Why you advised Mummy to get rid of me
You abandoned me
But, here I am searching for you
Cause I love you anyway

If anyone happens to see him
Inform him, I'm yearning for him
Patiently waiting, waiting for that moment
Hopeful I am
