UNSTOPPABLE
(Verse 1)
They tried to silence my voice,
But my soul kept singing.
They broke my heart into pieces,
Yet I kept on believing.
I've buried dreams with trembling hands,
I've watched love become goodbye.
Some men walked away from me,
Some were called to heaven before my eyes.
I have tasted rejection,
I've carried disappointment like a mountain.
I've lost jobs I never deserved to lose,
Yet somehow... I never lost myself.
(Pre-Chorus)
When they cut my wings...
I learned to crawl.
When they blocked my road...
I carved another path.
When they thought it was over...
God whispered, "Rise again."
(Chorus)
I'm unstoppable...
Many times I've fallen,
Still I rise.
Many tried to bury me,
But I became the seed that came alive.
Nalipona... (I'm still here.)
Nshafwa... (I haven't perished.)
My tears became rivers of strength.
Even when hope is fading,
I keep moving one step at a time.
Slowly... painfully... faithfully...
I'm unstoppable.
(Verse 2)
Today I stand with empty pockets,
Questions filling up my mind.
I've lost another job,
But I refuse to lose my purpose.
Responsibilities are calling my name.
My child is looking up to me.
Sometimes I cry where no one sees,
Then I wipe my tears and choose to believe.
People celebrated my failures.
They thought this would be my end.
But they forgot my story
Has always been written by God.
(Bemba/Nyanja Bridge)
Lesa, nimwe maka yandi.
(God, You are my strength.)
Nangu imyaka yakweba ukuti nshingaishiba bwino,
(Even when people say I will never succeed,)
Nalipita mu mililo, lelo nshapya.
(I've walked through the fire, yet I wasn't consumed.)
Ndayenda pang'ono pang'ono, koma sindimaima. (Nyanja)
(I'm moving little by little, but I never stop.)
Bamputwile amapindo yandi...
(They cut my wings...)
Nalitambalala.
(I crawled.)
Bamfwaya ukunjisha panshi...
(They wanted to keep me down...)
Lelo nkesha.
(But I will rise.)
(Final Chorus)
I'm unstoppable...
If I cannot fly,
I'll crawl.
If I cannot crawl,
I'll drag myself forward.
If my tears become my only language,
God will still understand.
This season will not define me.
This pain will not finish me.
This loss will not bury me.
Because every time life knocks me down,
He lifts me higher than before.
I'm a survivor.
A fighter.
A daughter of the Most High.
And one day,
The same people who counted me out
Will watch God rewrite my story.
Nalipona.
(I'm still here.)
Ndilipo. (Nyanja)
(I am still standing.)
I'm unstoppable... forever.
