I lit a candle in the dark last night
Prayed for strength just to hold on tight
The power's out, but I hear the fight
From my neighbor's house
More screams tonight
Mama's tears soaked on the kitchen floor
Can't afford to break no more
I held her hand, but I needed more
Than these four quiet walls
Then comes the morning
The shoes are shining
I wear a smile that isn't mine
The matatus are roaring
The city's loud
But nobody asks me how
Mondays will never know
Nililia jana kwa floor
Silence is all I know
A show
Ikizidi naficha uso
I choose to let it go
They see me and shout hello
A show
Set me free
Set me free
Set me free
Set me free
Broke down at midnight
They say wait till you're 35
That my dreams are undefined
That I still got me some time
I put a laugh on standby
Won't cry
The truth is I just want to get by
Then comes the morning
The shoes are shining
I wear a smile that isn't mine
The matatus are roaring
The city's loud
But nobody asks me how
Mondays will never know
Nililia jana kwa floor
Silence is all I know
A show
Ikizidi naficha uso
I choose to let it go
They see me and shout hello
A show
Set me free
Set me free
Set me free
Set me free
Set me free so I can laugh and feel it
So I can smile and mean it
So I can sleep through the night
I believe, I believe in being free
I believe in peace for me
In smiling honestly
Set me free
Set me free so I can laugh and feel it
