Skippa Mistari – Bring them back Lyrics

BRING THEM BACK
Same news daily, 
The voice in the radio, images on my telly, 
Too hard to stomach in the belly, 
Families crying n sad,
From the youngest to mum and dad, 
Hidden whispers in the streets of K.U
Next it might be me or you, 
A soul gone, a body lifeless, 
A classmate no more, 
A roommate no more, 
Oh no, 
We can’t take this no more, 
The cost of development cant equal a life, 
From the beautiful queens we lost, 
To the brother gone b4 we could come to terms, 
Yeah the road is beautiful, 
Smooth and good to cruise on, 
Some sober and some under influence of booze, 
But guilty or innocent, nobody deserves to die, 
Its too sad to say goodbye, 
Thought we were bettering our road not setting hell loose, 
God save us from this noose,
Already taken many now its our necks, 
Desperate honks, screeching brakes, 
Collisions and hit n runs, 
Thika road give us back u took, 
Bring them back, bring them back, 
You’ll b opened by the presidential scissors, 
Not our tears n blood, 
That empty seat in my class, 
That friend u took, 
Somebody’s son n daughter, 
Now a family will never enjoy laughter, 
Bring them back, bring them back, bring them back, 
Every time u cross that road, 
Use it to get to where u going, please chant a prayer,
And thank our daddy above, 
We can’t be cautious enough, His grace and mercies sustain us, 
To those who have left us, 
Our comrades, brothers, sisters, and fellow citizens……….RIP, 
Thika road, I wish you had ears, 
Because am talking to u, we need them back,
Bring them back, bring them back, bring them back.
