about

My friend's mom is 75 years old...

She is (no joke) stranded alone in a dangerous refugee camp without sufficient survival support...

She is the last surviving member of her family in the camp...

We need $35,000 to get her from Africa to America where she can be with her family...

You can donate here: www.gofundme.com/kauma-mom-rescue

You can also buy this song for a much as you would like.

Proceeds go to the effort to bring her home.

lyrics

-- Oh mama, oh mama … oh papa, oh papa
-- Oh sister, oh brother … I sing you home
-- Oh mama, oh mama … oh papa, oh papa
-- Oh sister, oh brother … I sing you home

Through the dark my spirit flies … to the ones I love so dear
I feel your heartbeat deep in mine … and I don’t have any fear
You made a home in burning lands … many years we spent apart
With the sands of blow away … it's a brand new start

-- Oh mama, oh mama … oh papa, oh papa
-- Oh sister, oh brother … I sing you home
-- Oh mama, oh mama … oh papa, oh papa
-- Oh sister, oh brother … I sing you home

You live in me we fly so high … you are not alone
Just close your eyes and think of me … as I sing you home

-- Oh mama, oh mama … oh papa, oh papa
-- Oh sister, oh brother … I sing you home
-- Oh mama, oh mama … oh papa, oh papa
-- Oh sister, oh brother … I sing you home

Babies hands we forever hold … though they went back to the sky
Every night when I look up … your star is my lullaby

-- Oh mama, oh mama … oh papa, oh papa
-- Oh sister, oh brother … I sing you home
-- Oh mama, oh mama … oh papa, oh papa
