Follow Barbara Wangui:

Lyrics:
You used to call me your little bird
Kanyoni gakwa kainaga
For when your spirits sank low I'd sing them off the floor for you

The other birdies yeah they told me
They saw you watching from the balcony
We want to bring you up here to help us spread the cheer of life

You said no, you'd never sung, you didn't know and didn't want to

And so we wrote a song for you
We wrote it in a day or two
A song about birds that watch other birds sing tunes

And it goes
Ooooh

You said you'd like to try to sing
Would anybody really listen in?
What if it wasn't that great? Or maybe it's too late to learn something new

The other birdies will be listening
And they will help you in a heartbeat
We want to bring you up here to help us spread the cheer of life

We watched you close your eyes, spread your wings, get ready to fly

And you sang
Ooooh

And we joined
Oooh

This is a song I wrote for you
I hope you're somewhere out there listening to your little bird
And all the other birds sing tunes

Hmmm

EPIC brought me here. My mother passed on the 30th of August a few years ago. On release night for the Wisdom Saga I was really really low and was having thoughts of self harm for the first time in my life. Hearing your performance as Calypso and listening to the lyrics allowed me to let out a good cry and reevaluate my life. I know you may never see this, but I am so grateful that you exist.

J. Segeras video decided to introduce me this beautiful song..
And actually I love it. Lovely voice

[victorwainaina]

So....someone sent me this and told me it reminds them of me, and man....it hurts. I love the song, but I hate how it makes me feel.

I don't like that I've lived life as I have enough to make someone think that I need encouragement to be me, but at the same time, maybe it's time to let go of these feelings of failure, of lateness, and accept the help. I recently learnt some tough things about myself and this song resonates a bit too accurately. It's a beautiful song, but it shines a light too bright on shadows that I am ashamed to have exist inside me.

[bantubmoverske]

Didn't know this song until I watched Jsegera video of the two ladies🙌. Vibess
