Verse 1
Family of Lawrence Abanonu, we are seven strong,
Osoudu, Ndubuisi, Oluchi singing one song.
Nkechi and Chinese, Chukwuemeka too,
Ngozi by our side, yeah, we once all knew.
We laughed together, no riches, no fame,
One plate on the table, but love was our name.
Chorus
We were one, we were whole, we were never alone,
Till the day life changed when our parents were gone.
The pain is deep, only God truly knows,
But we still pray for peace, yeah, peace and love to grow.
Verse 2
The devil came quietly, stole our smile away,
Turned bright family nights into long broken days.
Losing mama and papa broke something inside,
Tears we don’t show, pain we still hide.
We tried to stay close, tried holding the line,
But love feels harder with the passing of time.
Chorus
We were one, we were whole, we were never alone,
Till the day life changed when our parents were gone.
The pain is deep, only God truly knows,
But we still pray for peace, yeah, peace and love to grow.
Bridge
Blood is still blood, no matter the storm,
Family is family, broken or torn.
Maybe not today, maybe not now,
But I believe healing will teach us how.
Outro / Prayer
So this is our prayer, from heart to the sky,
Let peace find our home, let love multiply.
Family of Lawrence Abanonu, we’ll shine again,
Not perfect, but together — amen.
