Awami, listen close, child
This is your blessing
Awami, hear your mama calling out your name
Listen to your teachers, that's how you play the game
Respect your elders, let their wisdom be your guide
Education is the key, keep it by your side
We're working day and night, breaking our backs for you
Every sacrifice we make, it's all to see you through
Awami, Awami, God's got His hand on you
Awami, Awami, a better life is waiting true
Me and your mama, we're praying every day
That you'll rise up higher, glory, yes Lord, in every way
Hallelujah, child, you're destined to be great
Awami, Awami, education seals your fate
Tomorrow's gonna shine bright if you do your part today
Hit those books, stay humble, let the Lord lead the way
We're grinding so hard, sweat and tears we give
So you can have it better, so you can truly live
God will protect you, praise Him, through every storm
Your future's in His hands, kept safe and warm
Awami, Awami, God's got His hand on you
Awami, Awami, a better life is waiting true
Me and your mama, we're praying every day
That you'll rise up higher, thank You Jesus, in every way
Hallelujah, child, you're destined to be great
Awami, Awami, education seals your fate
Awami, this is your blessing
God will protect you, amen
