(Soft palm wine guitar picking)
(Whispered) Rest in peace, Pa Solo…
Rest in peace, Pa Solo…
Mr Wise, you are a shining star
From Baama Konta, looking down from far
K-School Kenema, we remember your name
A heart so clean, you put the world to shame
You get patience, oh, the way you dey
I never see man like you, no way
Mr Wise, you are blessed, you are blessed
A shining star put to final rest
Mr Wise, you are blessed, you are blessed
A shining star put to final rest
Mr Wise, you are blessed, you are blessed
A shining star put to final rest
Straight from Baama Konta, we remember you
Blessing is my daughter, yeah, she miss you too
Mama Mamie is my mother, she weep for you
Pa Joseph is my father, he look for you
Your heart was gold, you never did vex
No man like you, you pass all the tests
Mr Wise, you are blessed, you are blessed
A shining star put to final rest
Mr Wise, you are blessed, you are blessed
A shining star put to final rest
Mr Wise, you are blessed, you are blessed
A shining star put to final rest
Rest in peace, Pa Solo
Rest in peace, Pa Solo
(Guitar fades out slowly)
Mr Wise, you blessed…
We miss you, padi…
