Iyowumana
In this life
Love yourself love your neighbor
(Take my pain away)
But in disguise some they hate on their neighbors
No one wants to die but want to end up in heaven
in this life
Nothing shall stress me again
Kill e my pain with
Cana ah ah ah
Oh oh
No more pain I'm in heaven
(Take my pain away)
Juana ah ah ah
(Take my pain away)
Oh oh
No more pain I'm in heaven
Ah ah ah
Cleanse yourself off the hate you buy
I've found time and I've realized
Happiness is the key to life
But it cannot take away the pain of life
Life shall come
Life shall go back again
That's the circle of the world that we came
As I face all my sorrows and pain
I need joy I need happiness
Kill e my pain with
Cana ah ah ah
Oh oh
No more pain I'm in heaven
(Take my pain away)
Juana ah ah ah
(Take my pain away)
Oh oh
No more pain I'm in heaven
Ah ah ah
Cana ah ah ah
(Iyowumana)
Oh oh
No more pain I'm in heaven
(Take my pain away)
Juana ah ah ah
(Take my pain away)
Oh oh
No more pain I'm in heaven
Cana ah ah ah
Oh oh
No more pain I'm in heaven
