VERSE 1
Oh my mind won't rest
And I can't find sleep
All the doubts I have
Cut a bit too deep
Yeah I try to pray
But no words come out
I'm holding on tonight
Through every doubt
CHORUS
Oh stay with me tonight
Ninataka ukae (I need You to stay)
Hold my heart so tight
You are my shield and light
Oh Baba, stay with me tonight
Ninataka ukae (I need You to stay)
Hold my heart so tight
Stay with me tonight
