I'm a mother, I'm a lover
I work hard for a living
I spend all my time on others
Spend most of my life giving

So maybe now it's my time
To take all that time back for myself
They tried hard to take away my name
I'll have it back, along with everything else

And don't ask me to be sorry
Just for being myself.
I can't do that, and it ain't my fault
I can't be anyone else.

So maybe now it's my time
To take all that time back for myself
They tried hard to take away my name
I'll have it back, along with everything else

It's my life
So why don't you let me live it
It's my life
And I want to take it back

So maybe now it's my time
To take all that time back for myself
They tried hard to take away my name
I'll have it back

It's my life
So why don't you let me live it
It's my life
And I want to take it back

Ni maisha yangu
Nitaishi
Ni maisha yangu
Nataka irudi
