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)
