Mama Martha, mama Martha
You stood so strong, so strong
Mama Martha, mama Martha
God's love in your hands all along
She was young when baba Shari went away
Left her with six mouths, no easy way
But mama Martha held us close and tight
Taught us faith, taught us right
Through the struggle, through the pain
She whispered God's name, again and again
Mama hukutsakiye kuhuyeya heketu na neema
Mwemweheka, mwemweheka
Every scar became a lesson of love
Every tear brought blessing from above
Aye, hallelujah!
Mama Martha, you're our strength
You went the distance, any length
Raised us in faith, raised us in grace
God shining bright on your face
Mama Martha, we sing your name
Your sacrifice, your light, your flame
Six children blessed by your hands
Mama Martha, mama Martha stands
Hallelujah, hallelujah!
Baba's stories live through your voice
You made sure we had a choice
To follow God, to walk the path
To turn away from sin and wrath
Mema ya baba huyasikia kwa hadithi
Wizonahusumuia mama mwema
You were mother, you were father too
Showing us what faith can do
No complaint on your weary lips
Just prayers and strength from your fingertips
Maze, you are the strongest one
Mama Martha, you outshine the sun
Eeh mama!
Mama Martha, you're our strength
You went the distance, any length
Raised us in faith, raised us in grace
God shining bright on your face
Mama Martha, we sing your name
Your sacrifice, your light, your flame
Six children blessed by your hands
Mama Martha, mama Martha stands
Hallelujah, hallelujah!
We remember baba Shari, we remember well
But mama's love, that's what we tell
She kept his memory alive in our hearts
While raising us through the hardest parts
Mama hukutsakiye, mama hukutsakiye
With grace and with strength, with grace and with strength
She showed us the way
To love God every day
Every single day, every single day
Tukinunua, ayee!
Now we stand as mothers, as fathers strong
Passing down what mama taught us all along
Faith in God, love so deep
The promises we keep
Six seeds she planted in the ground
Now we're bearing fruit all around
Mama Martha's legacy lives on
In every child, in every song
We honor you, we celebrate
Mama Martha, the love you create
From tender age to where we stand
Your sacrifice, your holy hand
Mwemweheka, mwemweheka!
Mama Martha, you're our strength
You went the distance, any length
Raised us in faith, raised us in grace
God shining bright on your face
Mama Martha, we sing your name
Your sacrifice, your light, your flame
Six children blessed by your hands
Mama Martha, mama Martha stands
Hallelujah, hallelujah!
Mama Martha, mama Martha
We sing your praise, we sing your grace
Mama Martha, mama Martha
Forever you'll hold a sacred place
Mama hukutsakiye kuhuyeya heketu
Na neema, na mwemweheka
We love you, mama, we honor your name
Mama Martha, forever the same
Hallelujah, hallelujah!
Maze, thank you mama
Thank you, thank you
