The Woman I Want to Be
By: Nana Yebo | STILL ON THE ROAD
By: Nana Yeboaa Thirty two odd years
I have been on this road
I wailed when I set upon the road
Then I settled on a loving bosom
I knew no pain, only joy and happiness
Tragedy or poverty were far
Humbly lived the life I lived
Worked hard, then life looked me up
Then she was lost, there was no bosom to nestle
Yet I kept on the road
I met him later, only to lose him
The rock that kept me steady
I am still on the road not alone
A little girl on the left a fatherless son on my right
Weary with life, I am still on the road
I ain't got it, but I ain't giving up
I ain’t giving up on love
The road turned
I climbed over hills and mountains
Rocks and brushed cut me deep
My wounds may scar, but surely they will heal
And I will reach my destiny
Don’t ask me how
For I am still on the road
