It's Not Easy by Lucky Dube

Lord have mercy

I remember the day I called mama on the telephone
I told her (1)________ I'm getting married
I could hear her (2)__________ on the other side
Of the (3)__________________ she was smiling
And she asked me a question
That I proudly answered
She (4)________ son did you (5)________ time
To (6)________ her?
I said mama, she is the best
But today it hurts me so to go back to
Mama and say
Mama I'm getting divorced
(Oh) I'm getting divorced
The choice I made didn't work out the way
I thought it would
This choice I made
It (7)__________ me so mama

This choice I made didn't work out the way
I thought it would
This (8)____________ of mine (oh)

Mama said to me
It's not (9)________ to (10)____________________ it son
But I hope you'll make it
You'll be happy again
It's not easy to (11)____________________ it son
But I (12)________ you'll (13)________ it
You'll be happy again

I remember in church
When the preacher man read the scriptures
You looked so beautiful, so beautiful
And so innocent

I did not (14)________ (15)________ behind (16)________ beauty
Lies the true colours that will destroy me
In the near future
This (17)____________ I made didn't (18)________ out to be
What I (19)______________ it would be
(Oh) mama this choice I made
Didn't work out the way I thought it would
Now I'm hurting

I (20)________________ when I held you by the hand
Preacher man read the scriptures
Putting words in your mouth
Maybe what the preacher man said
Was not something that was within you
Now I (21)________ (22)________ they mean when they say
Beautiful woman
Is another man's plaything
(Oh) lord, I'm hurting now
This choice I made didn't work out the way
I thought it would
This choice of mine (oh)
Mama said to me
It's not (23)________ to (24)____________________ it son
But I hope you'll make it
(You'll be happy again)
