AMARI'S PRAYERS Lyrics

I wasn't ready to be a dad when I had you

When I was in that room

And the nurses started rushing through

I knew it was an emergency, but I thought I wouldn't meet you

Then I saw your little face and I was filled up with gratitude

My mini me

Everyone knows I was always calling you Amari

It means strength

And you need strength in your army

I've seen things that tried to harm me

Or scar me

So as long as I can protect you

You can always call on me

Getting along with your mum is kinda hard

I thought you would find it difficult having two yards

But you've been calm

So that's double the love

Double the birthdays

Double the cake, double the presents and double the games

Double the Christmas

And double the play

Means you gotta have double the energy so make sure you stay awake

Heroes Need Saving and I've been saved

You know your dad always has time to see your face

Your imagination running crazy when you're playing

I love how you get along with Adonai it's amazing

Your dad is happy with her that's the main thing

I love seeing you smile it's contagious

But stop smiling at these strangers

I'm tryna tell you something serious but you make me smirk

In this mad world I can't stop you from getting hurt

But I'll teach you to learn

Please come to me about your concerns

I'll shower you with love and those positive words

A year and a bit in

I'm at Uncle Brennan's crib

Telling Auntie Ama

He's still not speaking

She knows a lot about kids

She told me Kumar just leave it

Now look at you, you don't stop speaking

When you do you're always a genius

I thought I wouldn't have feelings

I was scared I didn't know the reason

I thought I wouldn't be a attached

And I thought I would be seething

Thought how can I love you if I don't know the meaning

Cos I wasn't even there to hear your heart beating

How you already four

I remember when you was born

I cut your cord

I remember what you wore

Now I'm hearing you snore

J'adore

Praise the Lord

Reassurance when I wasn't sure

But now I'm sure

I'm sorry if you feel you won't get the same father as your siblings

But I'll try my best to stay consistent

Getting anything you want on your wish list

You was due on tenth but you came the morning before Christmas

That's how You was gonna stubborn

You so dramatic making something out of nothing

I love human you're becoming

Cooking me my favourite food in your toy oven

And I love it

You're probably gonna be a manager cos you're so bossy

The milestones I share with you

Your first nappy

Your first steps

Your first wee in your potty

I gotta be careful cos everything you see me do you try to copy

I want you to know I'll always love you

You're surrounded by loving aunties and uncles

My house is your house so come through

How you brighten up my day is beautiful what a son do

Amari this is my prayer for you over your life

I pray everything you do you try

I pray you have the drive

I pray you're intelligent and wise

I pray you're loving and kind

I pray you always remember to be divine

KS

Dear God, thank you for my dad's life
