La Hayali
Our relatives tells my mum and my dad that if you can't kill that child, we are going to kill you both.
Ya, she would come and give me something to eat and she was back.
My dad, he died. They killed, they found him in a job.
They got a nail and a hammer. They just put here and they killed him.
My mum said, how will I manage to make my child to grow?
Cos I love her.
I told my mum, it's like I'm a burden to you. Please kill me cos I'm tired.
I can't live in bushes and I can't live without you.
So if it means to kill me so that you can live a better life, please do it.
My mum didn't like it. She told me, Christ, I'll die with you. I'll go with you whenever you go.
I started asking God, why did you created me?
Cos everyone is running away from me. Why did I do? Please, if I had something I did forgive me.
There was a man of God, he came to school. When he was preaching, he saw me crying.
He asked me, why are you crying?
I just kept quiet. Then he told me that today is your time. It's the time of happiness.
Please, we're going to be happy. We're going to be a great lady.
When I sat down with her, I just asked her, Grace, what do you want to do when you come visit us in the States?
She said, I want to preach, I want to tell people my story and I want to sing.
