Lyrics

[female

vocals] (

Soft,

sustained

synth

pads) (

Distant,

mournful

melody)

A

year

has

passed

But

the

clock

stopped

the

day

you

left

Swithen,

my

son

It

has

been

a

year

since

the

silence

grew

Since

the

world

lost

the

light

that

was

you

Swithen

Chandika,

my

heart

still

bleeds

Planting

flowers

where

we

planted

seeds

I

look

for

your

smile

in

the

morning

sun

But

the

race

of

your

life

was

finished

too

soon

If

love

alone

could

have

held

you

here

I

would

have

fought

back

every

single

tear

Oh,

my

son,

my

heavenly

child

Today

we

celebrate,

though

the

grief

is

wild

Your

birthday

in

the

stars,

so

far

away

I

wish

you

were

here,

oh

how

I

pray

If

it

was

in

our

power,

we’

d

change

the

tide

And

keep

you

forever

by

your

mother’

s

side

Gift

is

missing

you,

the

days

are

slow

He

speaks

of

the

places

you

used

to

go

Ichichena

chilekalipa,

the

pain

remains

Like

shadows

dancing

in

the

heavy

rains

The

Boys

Brigade

Captain

is

standing

tall

Remembering

the

leader,

hearing

the

call

Officer

Bambe

and

Major

Kunda

weep

With

promises

that

you

were

meant

to

keep

Oh,

my

son,

my

heavenly

child

Today

we

celebrate,

though

the

grief

is

wild

Your

birthday

in

the

stars,

so

far

away

I

wish

you

were

here,

oh

how

I

pray

If

it

was

in

our

power,

we’

d

change

the

tide

And

keep

you

forever

by

your

mother’

s

side

Baba

and

the

company,

they

feel

the

space

That

nobody

else

can

ever

replace

They

say

'tawaliwafyongo'

in

the

quiet

night

Missing

the

glow

of

your

inner

light

Reverend

Mwenifumbo,

he

spoke

so

true

On

the

day

we

had

to

say

goodbye

to

you

He

gave

us

words

to

carry

the

weight

As

we

leave

your

soul

at

the

heavenly

gate

I

miss

the

advice,

I

miss

your

sound

I

miss

your

footprints

on

this

holy

ground

Prudence

is

calling,

can

you

hear

my

voice?

If

it

were

my

choosing,

I’

d

make

the

choice

To

hold

you

closer,

to

keep

you

near

To

wash

away

every

remnant

of

fear

But

heaven

has

called

for

a

captain

so

fine

And

I’

ll

hold

your

memory

until

you

are

mine

Oh,

my

son,

my

heavenly

child

Today

we

celebrate,

though

the

grief

is

wild

Your

birthday

in

the

stars,

so

far

away

I

wish

you

were

here,

oh

how

I

pray

If

it

was

in

our

power,

we’

d

change

the

tide

And

keep

you

forever

by

your

mother’

s

side

Happy

birthday,

Swithen

My

son,

my

pride

We’

ll

see

you

again

On

the

other

side (

Fade

with

pads)
