Sleep, and dream no more my child
For the world shall miss you not.
You left without learning to say goodbye
You came to this world
But couldn't see nor conquer
This unforgiving world
I carried you for nine months
And you paid me back by leaving?
For you I lactated
Now my breast milk is wasted
Your cradle longed to house you
Yet there it lays empty
Why didn't you stay?
Oh why?
Why did you leave?
Am I not fit to be a mother?
The world knew I was pregnant
But I have nothing to show for it
Iya Abiku they call me
Why did you let me be?
Go and come back to stay
For you are Abiku
The child who have come
But not to stay.
