Through the mist of tears in your eyes
On my childhood memory
I know the truth in your smile
I know the truth in your smile
Piercing through the gloom of my ignorance
There is mama lying down sleeping
Very ill and heart crying
Wondering wondering wondering
What is this world coming to Is it right
That such small children must feed for themselves
Is it right
Mothers struggling in this uncertain world
Is it right
Heaping trouble on an old lady’s head
Is it right?
I’m asking you dammit!!!
Chorus:
Thula mama thula mama
Thula mama thula mama
Tomorrow it’s gonna be better
Tomorrow it’s gonna be better
Na hi ronama
Na hi ronama
Thula don’t cry
Thula mama
Thula mama
