Maminou

[Verse 1] 
 She was never made of softness Not the fragile kind they see She was brave, she was daring There was fire in her belief Strong and fearless, unapologetic She bent the world her way Made her rules without permission Taught us not to be afraid And without even knowing Without a single word I followed in her footsteps

 [Chorus]
 Oh Mah-MEEN-ou… You are our sunshine Oh Mah-MEEN-ou… You are the best part of our family Full of joy and endless motion
Maminou.. Never still, a shining view There’s no soul that time could soften Quite like you


[Verse 2 ]
Your door was always open Like the world grew soft inside All the noise of life would fade away in your arms Every storm I carried, quieted Mah-MEEN-ou…. You are the light of our lives Endless stories, endless teasing Turning moments into life There is magic in your presence There is fire in your smile Like the years refuse to touch you Like you never age in time

Forever young our maminou 

Oh Mah-MEEN-ou… You are our sunshine, our only sunshine Oh Mah-MEEN-ou… You brighten up our days when the sky is grey
 Every joy we’ve ever carried Every light we ever knew Somehow always finds its meaning Back in you
