Ayy,

Life
is
a
long,
long
road
Sometimes
you
walk
it
alone
But
the
light
remains
Born
in
the
village,
dust
upon
my
feet
Searching
for
a
face
I
never
got
to
meet
Twelve
years
of
shadows,
twelve
years
of
ghosts
Only
to
find
the
one
I
needed
most
Was
gone
before
I
whispered
his
name
Grandma
held
my
hand
through
the
grief
and
the
rain
Life
wasn't
easy,
the
struggle
was
real
Just
a
boy
learning
how
to
heal
Oh,
the
path
is
winding,
heart
is
heavy
tonight
Looking
for
the
stars
in
the
fading
light
I
thank
God
for
the
ones
who
showed
me
the
way
Through
the
darkest
night
into
the
day
Left
in
grade
four,
headed
for
Kabwe
town
Thought
life
would
lift
me,
not
pull
me
down
Stepfather
standing
where
my
father
should
be
He
gave
me
a
love,
a
gift
to
me
Though
he
wasn't
blood,
he
was
strength
in
my
soul
He
helped
me
carry,
he
helped
me
feel
whole
Rest
in
peace,
man,
you
did
your
best
Now
it's
time
for
your
spirit
to
rest
Oh,
the
path
is
winding,
heart
is
heavy
tonight
Looking
for
the
stars
in
the
fading
light
I
thank
God
for
the
ones
who
showed
me
the
way
Through
the
darkest
night
into
the
day
Grade
five,
I
joined
the
family
tree
Daddy's
elder
sister
was
there
for
me
A
blessed
mother,
a
heart
so
wide
But
two
years
later,
more
tears
inside
My
biological
mother,
she
faded
away
Oh,
how
I
wish
she
could
see
me
today
Life
hasn't
been
easy,
I've
walked
through
the
fire
But
I
keep
on
rising,
I
keep
climbing
higher
From
the
village
to
the
city,
the
scars
are
my
own
I'm
never
defeated,
I'm
never
alone
I'm
still
here,
I'm
still
standing
For
the
ones
I
lost,
for
the
love
I
found (
Ayy,
yoh)
Rest
in
peace,
till
we
meet
again
Yeah,
the
journey
goes
on
Israel
