(Ayy, yoh)
Chilungu Francis Ratio, listen to me now
You are a champion, on God
We rise, we never fall, yeah
Even on the heavy days, Chilungu
When your heart feels far away
When the road gets long and the shadows play
You remember who you are, yeah
God’s hands are holding you, Francis Ratio
Through the storm, through the wind, through the flow
Keep your head up, don't let the spirit go
Your foundation is deep, and your legacy will grow
Chilungu Francis Ratio, you’re still standing
Still believing, still commanding
Through the tears and through the healing
Missing those you love, but you’re not breaking
You are loved, you are chosen, yeah
Chilungu Francis Ratio, you’re still standing
The pain reminds you that you can feel
The love reminds you that you can heal
One step, one prayer at a time
Moving forward, yeah, you’re hitting your prime
It’s a new day, nshima on the plate, family on your mind
Leave the past behind, leave the worry behind
Because your light is shining, and the future is kind
Chilungu, you’re the greatest of your kind
And when the world tries to shake your ground
You stand firm, look at the strength you’ve found
No weapon formed, nothing can hold you down
Francis Ratio, you wear the winner's crown
Chilungu Francis Ratio, you’re still standing
Still believing, still commanding
Through the tears and through the healing
Missing those you love, but you’re not breaking
You are loved, you are chosen, yeah
Chilungu Francis Ratio, you’re still standing
Still standing, ayy
Chilungu, you’re chosen, yoh
Still commanding, still growing
Francis Ratio, we see you
Keep rising, keep shining
Natotela for being you
(Ayy, yoh)
