So Mi Sa'm (Hold my hands)

Telling you things that bother me

Sharing my joys with you

It wasn't to solicit words of wisdom

Nor have you empathize with me

I just wanted you to

So mi sa'm

Me'nko ja m'akyere

(Don't leave me behind)

It is not because I lack shoulders to cry on;

Yours are strong enough,

You are part of my wholeness.

All you ever need to do is to

So mi sa'm

So mi sa'm

Na hwe m'anim

(Face me)

Ke tsereme se'a wo do me

(Tell me you love me)

Se na' meso mi do wo

(As much as I love you)

So mi sa'm

(Hold me hands)
