Bed Of Stone Lyrics

Bed Of Stone - Asa

...

She's been sleeping on a bed of stone

By a window where no light goes

She wakes to the roar of the traffic

Rumbling outside

Then she remembers her dream and smiles

Yes she smiles

On her dress she irons the folds

Same way mama told

Her brothers and sisters

All the way home

Are proud of the way she fights

Hardship alone

(Chorus)

Some hope but they let go

Some hope but they don't know

Which way will the wind blow

What will tomorrow bring

What will tomorrow bring

On her feet from dawn to night

Working jobs others don't like

Sometimes she wonders if

They know that she is there

The way that they talk to her

Look through and stare

Almost all the money she earns

She save's for the day she returns

She goes through left overs

When the market is closed

Without paper she knows the police

Will send her back home

(Chorus)

Some hope but they let go

Some hope but they don't know

Which way will the wind blow

What will tomorrow bring

What side of the road will you land on

What end of the card where you passed on

Nobody knows there's no right way

Nobody knows there's no wrong

I bi aye yin gbemi lo, mi o mo

Oyin lo oyin lo

(Chorus)

Some hope but they let go

Some hope but they don't know

Which way will the wind blow

What will tomorrow bring
