(Acoustic guitar strums, soft shaker)
Yoh, my son...
Lesa ni mukulu, amen!
Listen close, mukwai.
Early in the morning, you wake up to pray
Seeking for His favor to guide your way
Mwana wandi, you work with your hands
Shedding sweet sweat across the land
No time for boza, you focus on the grind
Leaving all the lazy thoughts behind
Mayo is smiling, watching you rise
With the fire of faith in your eyes
Oh, the praying son, you shall never fall!
When you call on Lesa, He answers your call!
Hard working soldier, standing so tall
Natotela, Father, for blessing us all!
Mwana wa mupashi, go shine your light
Everything you touch is turning bright!
They thought you would struggle, they thought you would fail
But with prayer and hustle, your ship will sail
From the Copperbelt streets to the highest place
We see the beauty of God's amazing grace
Keep on pushing, muli shani, my boy
Your labor of love will bring endless joy
Oh, the praying son, you shall never fall!
When you call on Lesa, He answers your call!
Hard working soldier, standing so tall
Natotela, Father, for blessing us all!
Mwana wa mupashi, go shine your light
Everything you touch is turning bright!
Go shine, my son.
Hallelujah!
Lesa ni mukulu...
Ayy, amen.
