A baby cries,
the Doctor stares,
the people stare
Oh my oh my the say
She has yellow eyes
Oh no oh no, she's no good
Throw her by the river
Leave her in the forest
She's no good, she's no good.
But mama looked at the baby and smiled
She is good she is special
She bent and told me you will be great.
Years past, the people stared still, the Doctor stared still.
Oh my oh my, they said
She has yellow eyes
Oh no oh no She's no good.
Throw her by the river
Leave her in the forest.
But mama smiled still,
She is unique.
She turned and told me,
You will do exploits.
Now I am grown
Now I am a mama too
And I remember all Mama told me You would do exploits, and yes I have
You would be great, Yes I am
You would be a good mama, Yes I am.
I now stare at the starers, the talkers You were wrong Mama was right
I am strong,
I am great
Sickle Cell born or not I am unique. I know so
Because Mama told me so.
