(Acoustic guitar playing softly)
Yoh... Mayo wandi.
We miss you, we really do.
Amen.
You welcomed me like your own child, no distance in your eyes
Under the Lusaka sun, your wisdom made us wise
With every smile you gave, you built a happy home
Now you are resting with the angels, standing by the throne
Mayo, your love was like a shield, so strong and true
We are holding onto the peace we found in you.
Natotela, we say thank you for the life you led
For every kind word and the blessings that you shed
The family gathers now, we feel your gentle grace
Even though we cannot see your smiling face
You taught us how to love, you taught us how to stand
Now you walk in glory in a better land.
Mayo wandi, rest in peace, your memory remains
Above the clouds, far away from all the earthly pains
We will carry your light, we will keep your name high
Till we meet again under the African sky
Mayo wandi, rest in beautiful peace.
Oh, the copper may fade, but your legacy shines bright
Through the darkest valley, you are our guiding light
Natotela, mayo... we love you forever.
Rest well, Mama.
God bless your soul.
Yoh... Amen.
