WHILE IN ABSU(Lyrics)

Verse
And Mama told me son as you get there
you better get along while others get along,
and you should pray for the efficacy
so as to set apart the right from the wrong.
So I carried my luggage straight to the park,
and boarded the bus and it brought me here.
Parharharhar pam para rerho
So down on my knees I prayed.

Chorus
Oh Lord while in Absu
I crave your indulgence to say;
You're the everything I've got here.
Oh shield me day and night,
Do not let me fall
Oh Papa di n'igwe o!

That's why we pray for your mercy.

Shield me day and night oh, Papa I pray.

Oh Lord while in Absu I crave your indulgence to say, to say,
oh I'm short of words.
