Lyrics
[Intro – Spoken Word with beat building]
Yeah…
It’s me again…
Same story, same struggle
But this time, I’m really crying out…
---
[Verse 1 – English/Nyanja]
Father forgive me, ndasebana so many times
Chabe daily ndibwezela ku ma same old crimes
Ma club nights, ma bottles, ma women — temptation so strong
Ndine munthu, but I feel like I’m living this life wrong
Ndiku votela ku chabe — fake love, fake friends
But deep down inside, I know where this ends
I see the light but I’m stuck in the dark
Give me a sign, Lord, give me a spark
Nili pa knees, Lord hear me cry
Lesa ndine mwana obe, please answer why
Why I keep falling, when I try to stand
Forgive me Father, take me by the hand
---
[Chorus – Sung, Gospel style with harmonies]
Father forgive me, I keep going back
Nkhala ngati mwana wa mu street no track
I need Your grace, need a brand new start
Put Your hand on me, clean this broken heart
Father forgive me, show me the way
Nipase chizindikiro, so I won’t stray
I’m tired of the bottle, tired of the pain
Lord, bring me home again…
---
[Verse 2 – Nyanja/English mix]
Ndimakamba ndasiya, but tomorrow I sin again
Ma demons inside me keep dancing in the rain
Ndilibwino ku church, but Friday I’m back at it
Ku club, ku bed ya stranger — no static
Ma tears on my pillow, Lord, nikumbukile
Nili na chisoni, moyo wanga usandulile
Ndi chabe munthu, koma I want to change
This soul of mine is calling out strange
Ndakhala ku low, I’ve seen rock bottom
Friends disappeared, now I feel forgotten
But You, Jehovah, You never change
Give me strength to rearrange
---
[Bridge – Spoken/Sung hybrid with emotional build-up]
How many times must I fall before I rise?
How many lies before I open my eyes?
Ndifuna kusintha, but I need You more
Lord, I’m knocking — open the door
---
[Chorus – Repeat with more emotion & choir harmonies]
Father forgive me, I keep going back
Nkhala ngati mwana wa mu street no track
I need Your grace, need a brand new start
Put Your hand on me, clean this broken heart
Father forgive me, show me the way
Nipase chizindikiro, so I won’t stray
I’m tired of the bottle, tired of the pain
Lord, bring me home again…
---
[Outro – Soft beat fade with choir]
Father…
Lesa wanga…
Forgive me…
Ndakangana koma ndifuna ku bwela…
Bring me home…
Yeah…
It’s me again…
Same story, same struggle
But this time, I’m really crying out…
