MDAMFU
Words and music by Andru Branch © 2008
Mdamfu
Hear what I say when I call you my friend
Mdamfu
That’s what I say when I call you my friend
When I was down and out
In the depths of my despair
When the chains of mental slavery
Were more than I could bear
You were so good to me
In my time of need
And you’ve been so kind to me
My friend indeed
Mdamfu
Hear what I say when I call you my friend
Mdamfu
That’s what I say when I call you my friend
Make use of yourself right now
Work hard to learn what’s right
Through self-discovery
And if you should stumble and fall
Get up, stand up, stand tall
Mdamfu
Hear what I say when I call you my friend
Mdamfu
That’s what I say when I call you my friend
Mdamfu
Hear what I say when I call you my friend
Mdamfu
That’s what I say when I call you my friend
