Too Late for Mama

(Too late)

(Too late for mama)

Ten kilometres barefooted in the bush
Started raining on the way to fetch some water
Poor woman had a baby on her back
Was struck by the lightning on her way, to fetch some water
She tried hiding under a tree to save the child
Poor woman had no place to go
Lightning caught her with her baby on her back
Friends, relatives ran for her

But it was too late
Too late for mama, too late
Too late for mama

Husband came running to the scene again
Poor man held his dead wife in his arms
Eyes full of tears and not believing in nightmare
Knelt down and prayed for this, was a painfull loss

Too late, too late for mama
She's gone
Too late, too late

She tried hiding under the tree to save the child
Poor woman had no place to go
Lightning caught her with her baby on her back
Friends, relatives ran for her

But it was too late
Too late, too late for mama
Mama with a little baby
She's gone
It was too late

(Too late)

(Too late for mama)

(But it was too late)
