Lyrics
(Verse 1 – Esther Lewis & Praise Umali)
Ndikuona kusweka kwa mtima wako
Mantha pa nkhope yako
If your walls could speak they would tell me how you really feel
Your heart’s loud but you don’t speak
I know that silence could be lonely
If your walls could speak
They would say ‘the pain cuts so deep’
Tell me how you really feel
Tell me how you really feel
(Verse 2 – KBG)
Ooooh
I’m so angry, mtima wanga ndiwosweka
Anthu akamandiwona daily amangoona ngati zikutheka
I’m so hungry, ndili ndi njala
Ku deni sindinadye masteni anga sakundibala
Of course ndi step mama, madala after kumara
Mkazi wina sizikuyenda, padeni timangokhala
Ndi nkhawa, nkhanza zomwe zimachita masteniwa
Ndimangokhalila kulila kumenya ma khomawa Ha!
I wish my mama was here
Look at the scars and the pain
I’m feeling so lonely, somebody hold me today
I feel like I’m gonna lose it, suicidal thoughts in my brain
And people telling me to do it
(Chorus)
Now tell me how you really feel
I’m here for you, I’m here for you
Tell me how you really feel
I’ll listen to you, I’ll listen to you
I hope you find healing
Your voice matters, your feelings matter
Tell me how you really feel
I’m here for you, I’m here for you
(Verse 3 – Kupa and Praise Umali)
It’s okay to cry, even when you smile
So let the tears that you cry spring wells of healing
Restoration comes when you release
There is liberation when you speak
You are loved you are seen, you are heard
And despite everything, you will win
It’s hard to find hope when it’s lonely
But you are not alone you should know this
You are not alone, you should know this, you should know this
It’s hard to find hope when it’s lonely
But you are not alone you should know this
You are not alone, you should know this, know this
(Chorus)
So you can tell me how you really feel
Tell me how you really feel I hope you find healing
Tell me how you really feel
Really feel
