Yeah,
yeah
Sometimes
you
just
have
to
stop
And
look
at
the
path
you’
ve
walked
We
give
thanks
today
For
the
ones
who
stood
by
us
Monsieur
Mbita,
this
one
is
for
you
The
road
was
long
and
the
sun
was
high
The
road
was
long
and
the
sun
was
high
I
remember
searching
for
a
clearer
sky
Doubts
were
heavy,
pulling
on
my
mind
Leaving
all
the
shadows
of
the
past
behind
But
then
you
stepped
in,
steady
and
true
With
a
heart
so
open,
like
the
morning
dew
You
offered
a
hand
when
the
way
was
blurred
And
kept
your
promise
with
every
single
word
Oh,
Monsieur
Mbita,
we
celebrate
your
light
You
made
the
darkest
moments
feel
so
bright
For
every
kindness
and
the
strength
you
show
We
let
the
gratitude
and
the
rhythm
flow
Oh,
Monsieur
Mbita,
with
a
spirit
so
grand
The
finest
soul
across
this
golden
land
We
give
you
honor
for
the
seeds
you
sow
With
a
grateful
heart,
we
let
the
spirit
grow
It
isn't
just
the
action,
it’
s
the
quiet
care
Knowing
that
someone
is
always
standing
there
You
didn't
ask
for
credit
or
a
hollow
praise
You
simply
guided
us
through
the
maze
Life
has
a
way
of
testing
the
soul
But
your
presence
helped
to
keep
us
whole
A
legacy
of
goodness,
simple
and
refined
Leaving
all
the
bitterness
far
behind
Oh,
Monsieur
Mbita,
we
celebrate
your
light
You
made
the
darkest
moments
feel
so
bright
For
every
kindness
and
the
strength
you
show
We
let
the
gratitude
and
the
rhythm
flow
We
let
the
gratitude
and
the
rhythm
flow
Oh,
Monsieur
Mbita,
with
a
spirit
so
grand
The
finest
soul
across
this
golden
land
We
give
you
honor
for
the
seeds
you
sow
With
a
grateful
heart,
we
let
the
spirit
grow (
Brass
break,
rhythmic
guitar
strumming)
It’
s
the
rhythm
of
the
heart,
the
Makossa
beat
Bringing
us
together,
making
life
complete
No
heavy
burdens,
just
the
grace
you
bring
It’
s
the
melody
of
life
that
we
want
to
sing
Yeah,
we
sing
it
for
you
Deep
and
true
Oh,
Monsieur
Mbita,
we
celebrate
your
light
You
made
the
darkest
moments
feel
so
bright
For
every
kindness
and
the
strength
you
show
We

the
gratitude
and
the

grateful
heart,

Yeah,
Monsieur
Mbita
We
see
you,
we
honor
you
Keep
that
light
shining
Smooth,
steady,
and
kind (

Peace
and
gratitude
Always.
