Boys Prayer

Ke llela ho wena Morena

Re llela ho wena Jehovah

Re llela ho wena Messiah

Hoba hahona a re mamelang

Ke llela ho wena Morena

Ke llela ho wena Jehovah

Ke llela ho wena Messiah

Hoba hahona a re mamelang

Cause they say a man never weeps

Better have feelings tougher than a steel

Slave for others, shut up and take it like a man

He'll receive his flowers at his funeral

Cause they say a man never weeps

Better have feelings tougher than a steel

Slave for others, shut up and take it like a man

He'll receive his flowers at his funeral

Ke llela ho wena Morena

Ke llela ho wena Jehovah

Ke llela ho wena Messiah

Hoba hahona a re Mamelang

Being born a boy is such a curse

Live your parents dreams until you see a hearse

Young boys expected to be fathers

Protect your mother, sister, brothers and your cousins

Was told our fathers didn't love us and left

Left me with trauma from I'll never recover

God why did you let Satan win

and leave boys alone without their father

Ke llela ho wena Morena

Re llela ho wena Jehovah

Re llela ho wena Messiah

Hoba hona a re mamelang

Ke llela ho wena Morena

Kellela ho wena Jehovah

Ke llela ho wena Messiah

Hoba hahona a re mamelang

Cause they say a man never weeps

Better have feelings tougher than a steel

Slave for other, shut up and take it like a man

He'll receive his flowers at his funeral

Cause they say a man never weeps

Better have feelings tougher than a steel

Slave for others, shut up and take it like a man

He'll receive his flowers at his funeral

Ke llela ho wena Morena

Re llela ho wena Jehovah

Re llela ho wena Messiah

Hoba hahona a re mamelang

Why they send boys out to fight and kill

Protect and die so everybody lives

Then expect us to be emotionally available

Call us monsters, threats and unlovable

How we win is life in a game that is rigged

When you play they keep changing the rules

Lord why give us feelings we can't even express

Give us tears no one cares to console

Cause they say a man never weeps

Better have feelings tougher than a steel

Slave for other, shut up and take it like a man

He'll receive his flowers at his funeral

Ke llela ho wena Morena (Re mo lefifing)

Re llela ho wena Jehovah (Re kopa lesedi )

Re llela ho wena Messiah (Ho wena Ramasedi)

Ha hona o re mamelang

Re mo lefifing

Re kopa lesedi

Ho wena Ramasedi
