I make music.An Ocean Between Us, released 15 May 2016An Ocean Between Usby Ian Kamau (for my sister Roxanne)Left for the island in a rush just to say goodbyeSometimes we find resolution on the day we dieAnd sometimes neverI’m sometimes better and I’m sometimes worseGazed at your face as you lay in the churchNever had your faith in the churchBut I still ask why… why?We held you to the hearse, Embraced by your grave, placed you in the earthThe seed of your birth, for what it is worthI know that you love me, I loved you the sameLike the blood in our veins I’m calling your name I’ll see you againStill no one to blame, nothing to blameCried as I wrote thisLosing my focus both tired and hopelessI hope that you notice, I hope that you noticeThough we rarely called, I knew you were thereAn ocean between us, and nothing comparesAnd nothing compares‘Cause life’s never fare, Life isn’t fairI wish it was clear, I wish you were here I’ve been shedding tears we’ve been shedding tearsDefeating your fearsYou know I don’t prayBut I’ll pray for your sonsWhile breaths in my lungs, ‘til my day is done‘Til the kingdom it comes, ‘til the kingdom it comesIf I am his son, then you were his daughterStay with our father wade in the waterWade in the waterWe swam in the ocean and stayed for the dayWith Gabre and Renee Thousands of words I was waiting to sayBut now it’s too late, now it’s too lateAnd this for your boys, remember her voiceRemember her smile remember her choiceTo raise you in loveHer life was for you, she knew who she wasSo live like you knowYou’re mother my sister her brother I miss herWhen she called me “bro” I hope that you know
