Oh,
Filipo
Banda
We
remember,
we
honor
Strength
beyond
measure
Filipo
Banda,
Filipo,
you
are
a
great
man
A
husband,
a
father,
and
a
teacher
of
the
law
Uli
mukali,
they
say,
and
it
is
true
You
have
walked
through
fires
that
would
break
any
soul
But
you
are
still
standing,
tall
as
the
ancient
trees
You
have
been
through
so
much,
seen
the
shadows
pass
Yet
your
spirit
remains,
unbroken
and
kind
Filipo,
you
are
a
man
of
true
strength
Filipo
Banda,
your
heart
is
a
sanctuary
Though
the
storms
tried
to
pull
you
under
You
rose
like
the
dawn,
steady
and
wise
Filipo,
you
are
the
pillar
of
your
home
Yes,
you
are
a
great
man,
Filipo
Banda
Your
father
and
mother
left
you
when
you
were
so
young
Passed
from
hand
to
hand,
a
journey
of
many
miles
Ni
lesafye,
God’
s
grace
kept
the
light
in
your
eyes
Strangers
became
your
shelter
when
the
world
was
cold
But
look
at
you
today,
standing
strong
on
the
earth
You
took
the
pain
and
you
turned
it
into
wisdom
Every
step
you
took
was
a
victory
against
the
dark
Filipo,
you
are
a
man
of
true
strength
Filipo
Banda,
your
heart
is
a
sanctuary
Though
the
storms
tried
to
pull
you
under
You
rose
like
the
dawn,
steady
and
wise
Filipo,
you
are
the
pillar
of
your
home
Yes,
you
are
a
great
man,
Filipo
Banda
These
things
are
in
the
past
now,
Filipo
They
have
passed
like
the
wind
across
the
plains
Fya
lapita,
the
burdens
you
carried
are
fading
Look
ahead
to
the
life
you
have
built
with
your
own
hands
For
you
are
a
teacher,
a
Rabbi
to
those
who
know
you
You
have
a
beautiful
wife,
Jenala,
who
loves
you
so
Chalo
chuwama
na
wako,
the
world
is
good
with
her
by
your
side
And
your
children,
a
blessing
blooming
in
the
sun
This
is
your
legacy,
the
fruit
of
your
long
road
When
you
look
at
them,
you
see
all
that
you
have
saved
You
are
a
father,
a
provider,
a
man
of
peace
Filipo,
you
are
a
man
of
true
strength
Filipo
Banda,
your
heart
is
a
sanctuary
Though
the
storms
tried
to
pull
you
under
You
rose
like
the
dawn,
steady
and
wise
Filipo,
you
are
the
pillar
of
your
home
Yes,
you
are
a
great
man,
Filipo
Banda
Uli
chikali,
Tata,
you
are
strong
Rest
now,
the
hard
days
have
gone
behind
you
Only
the
light
remains
for
you
now
Filipo
Banda,
our
brother,
our
friend (
