I seek a fortune
By chebet Caroline
In a distant city away from home mama,
Far away from your warmth and generous smile
Far away from your constant shoulder tap and bravos
Far away in the city where wildest dreams seek manifestations
In a starry city far away mama,
Mama, I seek a fortune

In the city where everything seems strange
Mama, in a city far away where gentle smiles are rare
Mama, in a land where everyone hustle to live
Where there is no time to shake, smile and laugh
Mama, I seek a fortune.
I patiently wait to struck the gold
I patiently wait to fill my bag with monies
Mama, I seek the treasure in a bustling city
I eagerly wait for a time mama,
When in bliss all dreams will get a visibility.
Momma, I seek a fortune
Detached from your warmth,
Barred from your embrace
Detained from your smile
Chained from all goodness of a mother,
Rubbished from being an apple of your eye,
Mama, I am locked up in the cold,
To find a fortune,
Amidst all these, Mama, I will fight to emerge,
I will fight the bravest fight Mama,
To deserve your bravo and shoulder tap again,
Mama, I seek a fortune.
