The Silwenga Legacy

[male

vocals] (

Aweh)

Kenanysilwenga

here

Sometimes

I

sit

and

think

about

the

journey

God

is

good

I

remember

the

days

when

I

was

all

alone

Just

a

man

in

a

house

that

didn't

feel

like

a

home

No

one

to

run

to

me,

no

one

to

call

me

daddy

I

wondered

if

a

family

was

a

dream

that

was

too

heavy

I

didn't

know

the

faces

of

the

ones

I’

d

hold

so

dear

I

didn't

know

the

names,

I

didn't

know

the

path

from

here

But

grace

stepped

in,

and

the

vision

started

clear

Oh,

the

Silwenga

family,

we

rise

by

the

grace

From

lonely

nights

to

the

smiles

on

every

face

Ruth,

my

beautiful

wife,

you

completed

the

song

With

you

by

my

side,

I

know

where

I

belong

Oh,

the

Silwenga

family,

gifted

and

true

My

heart

is

full,

giving

thanks

to

you

Then

came

the

blessing,

the

children

of

my

heart

God

wrote

the

story,

gave

us

a

brand

new

start

First

there

is

Gift

Nalwenga,

the

gentle

soul

so

kind

Then

Sharon

the

smart

one,

a

brilliant

light

to

find

Third

is

Promise

the

brave,

standing

strong

in

the

rain

Sally

the

pathfinder,

helping

us

break

the

chain

Oh,

the

Silwenga

family,

we

rise

by

the

grace

From

lonely

nights

to

the

smiles

on

every

face

Ruth,

my

beautiful

wife,

you

completed

the

song

With

you

by

my

side,

I

know

where

I

belong

Oh,

the

Silwenga

family,

gifted

and

true

My

heart

is

full,

giving

thanks

to

you

Robert

the

brains,

the

wisdom

in

his

eyes

Favour

the

mood,

reaching

for

the

skies

Favor

the

clever

one

and

unpredictable

being,

Miracle

came

the

gentle

mind

and

God

blessed

me

with

a

boy,

Aubrey

the

chosen

one

and

determined

soul

Look

at

what

we

built,

look

at

what

we've

grown

In

the

love

of

the

Almighty,

we

are

never

alone

I

used

to

be

silent,

now

our

house

is

loud

with

joy

Every

little

girl

and

every

little

boy

It

came

to

pass,

just

like

the

prayers

I

said

From

a

dream

in

the

dark

to

the

life

that

I

led

Kenanysilwenga,

I’

m

just

a

man

who

was

blessed

Putting

my

family

first,

above

all

of

the

rest

Oh,

the

Silwenga

family,

we

rise

by

the

grace

From

lonely

nights

to

the

smiles

on

every

face

Ruth,

my

beautiful

wife,

you

completed

the

song

With

you

by

my

side,

I

know

where

I

belong

Oh,

the

Silwenga

family,

gifted

and

true

My

heart

is

full,

giving

thanks

to

you

Giving

thanks,

the

Silwenga

family

Yeah,

we

rise

God

is

great,

forever

and

ever

We

are

here.
