A Child's Wish
Edward Otoo 2001 (Gomoa Nyanyano)
I wish is to have a mum
Who is caring and loving
A mum who will treat me special
And make me the happiest child in the world
And to say I got the best mum in the world
I wish to have a mum whose presence
Can kill the fear in me
And eliminate darkness that would come my way
I wish to have a mum whose voice can soothe my sorrows
And restore and calm my troubled soul
I wish to have a mum who would speak
And make me strong
I wish to have a loving and caring mother
Who would make me happy
