Papa
Sankomota Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Your body is shaking with, disbelief (Tell us more)
Cause you never
You never ever worked for it before (Before)
You’re waiting for your name, to be called (What do you say?)
Your body is shaking with, disbelief (Tell us more)
Cause you never ever, worked for it before (Before)
Go on my son, take over
I want to be with you
On the judgement day
On the judgement day
Go on
Go on my son, take over
I want to be with you
On the judgement day
You’re waiting for your name, to be called
Your body is shaking with disbelief
Cause you never, ever worked for it before
Born from the master
A master of inspiration
I‘ll tell you
The flesh that dies brings a god that lives in you
To achieve the power of life in you
I sincerely pass my greatest gratitude
To a saint my papa
Who left a message in a song for me to hear
It can only be proper, to pass it on
To the ears that feel and know truth
Yes I remember, what my father said
Let me say something right here
Look deep in your heart
For you are a master
Of generations to come
So you can be remembered
And never wonder
When your name is not called
From the register of the masters
Yes you are a master
I would like, to ask the choir to join me to sing this song

The song Papa by Sankomota talks about the importance of hard work and being a master of one's life. The first verse refers to someone who is waiting to receive some sort of recognition or success but has never worked for it before. The lyrics suggest that this person is in disbelief about their lack of success because they have never put in the effort to earn it. The second verse talks about the idea that we are born with inspiration from those who came before us. The singer gives thanks to a saintly figure in his life (his father?) who taught him a valuable lesson through music. The song goes on to encourage listeners to look deep into their hearts and find the inspiration to master their own lives, and be remembered as masters by those who come after them.
