TITLE: MAMA YAA SERWAA, YOUR LEGACY LIVES ON( Start with a lone piano or traditional flute, let a soft choir enter during the chorus, then build with gentle Highlife guitar and drums. It should be sung slowly so that family members can reflect and shed tears in remembrance of Mama Yaa Serwaa)
[Intro] Aah Mama… The house is silent, but your memories still speak. Your footsteps are gone, But your love remains in every heart you touched.
[Verse 1] Obaapanyin Yaa Serwaa, A woman of strength and grace, You carried our burdens with a gentle smile, You fought every battle with faith.
The hands that fed the hungry, The heart that welcomed everyone, The voice that prayed for her children, Now rests in the bosom of the Lord.
[Chorus] Oh Mama Yaa Serwaa, How do we say goodbye? The tears keep falling, But your memories will never die.
You have finished your journey, You have fought a good fight, Sleep peacefully, our mother, Until we meet again in the heavenly light.
[Verse 2] A mother, a grandmother, A pillar of the family, Your sacrifices became our blessings, Your wisdom became our guiding star.
The market knew your hard work, The church knew your devotion, Your family knew your endless love, And heaven has welcomed your soul.
[Bridge] Though the chair you sat on is empty, Though your voice we can no longer hear, Your teachings remain among us, Your spirit will always be near.
[Final Chorus] Obaapanyin Yaa Serwaa, Your name will be remembered, Your love will be celebrated, From generation to generation.
Rest, Mama, rest, The angels sing your song. We will hold your legacy forever, Until we meet where there is no more pain.
(Spoken) “Sleep well, beloved mother. Your work on earth is done. Your love remains… forever.”
