Yeah,
this
one
is
for
the
ones
who
hold
the
foundation.
For
the
mothers,
the
sisters,
the
daughters
of
the
soil.
Steadfast,
unshakable,
moving
forward.
We
celebrate
your
resilience
today.
Morning
light
touches
the
Anambra
dust
You
wake
with
a
fire,
in
yourself
you
trust
Through
the
valley
of
shadows,
through
the
weight
of
the
rain
You
carry
the
burden,
you
soften
the
pain
No
time
for
the
hollow,
no
time
for
the
games
You’
re
building
a
future,
you’
re
calling
the
names
Of
the
children
you
cherish,
the
dreams
that
you
keep
Working
while
the
world
is
drifting
to
sleep
Oh,
daughter
of
Anambra,
stand
tall
in
your
pride
With

in
your

need
to
hide
With

in
your
spirit,
no
need
to
hide
You’
ve
walked
through
the
fire
and
didn't
fall
down
You’

step
With

promise
that
you

kept
We

today
Anambra
women,

the
way
They
watch
you
in
silence,
they
wonder
your
grace
How
you
keep
a
calm
heart
in
this
difficult
place
You
don’
t
need
the
shortcuts,
you
don’
t
play
the
role
Of
the
broken
and
lost,
you
are
whole
in
your
soul
Your
hands
are
industrious,
crafting
the
gold
From
the
stories
of
struggle
that
remain
untold
From
the
markets
to
home,
you
are
holding
the
line
Turning
the
water
right
into
the
wine
Oh,
daughter
of
Anambra,

your
pride
With

It’

not
about
glory,
it’
s
not
about
fame
It’
s
the
light
that
you
carry,
it’
s
the
spark
in
your
name
When
the
road
gets
heavy
and
the
mountain
is
steep
You
hold
onto
secrets
that
the
brave
women
keep
Integrity
shining,
a
beacon
of
light
You’
re
making
a
difference,
you’
