Lyrics

[Intro]
It's a wonderful sacrifice
[Verse 1]
Mother, you carry me, no tears, no objection
My blessing, my blessing
Tell me, I don't know of your pain and your struggles
My lesson, my lesson
It takes a village to get you through your battles
My people, my people
[Chorus]
You give me sight without my eyes
It's a wonderful sacrifice
You give me sight without my eyes
It's without my eyes
[Verse 2]
Give me sight to my eyes
You give me honor, shame, demise (Mama, mama)
Through the fire, through the ice (Eh, eh, eh)
It's a wonderful sacrifice
Bring the light to my life
You give me honor, shame, demise (Mama, mama)
Through the fire, through the ice (Eh, eh, eh)
It's a wonderful sacrifice
[Verse 3]
You give me sight without my eyes
Without my eyes
You give me sight without my eyes
Out my eyes
[Verse 4]
Mother, you carry me, no tears, no objection
My blessing, my blessing
Tell me, I don't know of your pain and your struggles
My lesson, my lesson
It takes a village to get you through your battles
My people, my people
It takes a village to get you through your battles
My people, my people
[Chorus]
You give me sight
It's without my eyes (Mama)
It's a wonderful sacrifice (Mama, mama)
You give me sight (Mama)
It's without my eyes (Mama)
It's without my eyes (My people, my people)
[Outro]
My people, my people
My people, my people
My people
