Too Late

Ten kilometres barefooted in the bush
Started raining on the way to fetch some water
Poor woman had a baby on her back
Got struck by lightening on the way
To fetch some water

Water
Water
Oh poor mama
Too late, too late, too late, too late, too late
It was too late

She tried hiding under a tree to save her child
Poor woman had no place to go
Lightening caught her with her baby on her back
Friends, relatives ran for her

It was too late
It was too late
Too late for mama
Oh no
Too late, too late, too late, too late, too late
It was too late

Too late for mama
Oh mama
Mama with a little baby
She's gone
She's gone
She's gone
Oh poor mama
Too late, too late, too late, too late, too late
It was too late

Husband came running to the scene yeah
Poor man held his dead wife in his arms
Eyes full of tears not believing the nightmare
Knelt down and prayed if this was a dream or not

It was too late
Too late for mama
Oh mama mama
Oh poor mama
It was too late
Too late

Too late for mama
Oh mama
Mama with a little baby
She's gone
She's gone
She's gone
Oh poor mama
Too late, too late, too late, too late, too late, too late
It was too late
