A VOW

THIS WHITE SHEET ON MY HANDS

TELLS ME NOW WHO I AM

WITH DEEP GRIEF AND SORROW

I BEND MY KNEES TO YOU

 

OH GOD ALMIGHTY

FULL OF POWER ANG SOVEREIGNITY

NOW I BOW MY HEAD TO THEE

PLEASE HEAR ME AS I PRAY

 

FORGIVE ME LORD  FOR ALL MY WRONG DEEDS

I'VE BEEN SO STUBBORN AND WAS MISLEAD

I DID NOT LISTEN AS MY MOTHER PLEAD

TO STAY AWAY FROM VICES AND WRONG FRIENDS

 

MOM AND DAD WANT ME TO STUDY

FINISH MY COURSE AND HAVE GOOD CAREER SOMEDAY

BRING ME TO CHURCH EVERY SUNDAY

AND BE WITH THEM ON OUR FAMILY DAY

 

I FIND IT BORING SO I DID STAY

AWAY FROM THEM AND FIND MY WAY

WANT TO BE FREE FROM MY MOM'S HOMILY

 

AND THEN WITH FRIENDS I WAS SO HAPPY

DOING ALL THINGS THAT MY MOM HAVEN'T LET ME

 

I ENJOYED MUCH THE LIFE I HAD

I WAS SO HAPPY AND WAS SO GLAD

 

BUT ONE MORNING ALL THINGS TWISTED

I WOKE UP SAD WITH TEARS FALL ON MY HAND

IN WHITE GARMENTS DOCTORS ARE RUSHING

MY MOM IS SIGHING  IN GREAT PAIN SHE'S WHINNING

 

I COULD NOT MOVE NOR I COULD SPEAK

BUT I COULD HEAR SOUNDS FROM THEIR LIPS

THE DOCTOR SAID I HAVE AN AIDS

AND HANDED TO MY MOM A CONFIRMATION SHEET...

 

AFTER ONE WEEK I WAS RELEASED

MY MOM HUG ME AND MAKE A PROMISE

TO STAY WITH ME UP TO THE END
