Mahalia Mahalia
Little girl, who are you?
With your afro girls
Playing on the corner of the avenue
Little darling, where's your mama and papa gone?
I'd like to know where that beauty spot comes from
Mahalia
In this world, you must know who you are
Mahalia
You were given the tools to go far
Fa wa mi say, Mahalia
We give you, we give you this day
Mahalia, Mahalia
Don't forget, don't forget that name
Little thing, what's the story?
Behind that red skin
You're shining like the morning
Little girl, which part of Jamaica is your mama's family from
And what's your dad's side got going on?
Mahalia
In this world, you must know who you are
Mahalia
You were given the tools to go far
Fa wa mi say, Mahalia
We give you, we give you this day
Mahalia, Mahalia
Don't forget, don't forget that name
Ooh-wee-ooh
