[male vocals] We
remember
a
light
that
shone
so
bright
Jimmy
Papa,
we
honor
you
tonight
From
the
streets
where
you
served
with
a
heart
of
gold
A
story
of
service
that
needs
to
be
told
You
stood
for
the
people,
you
stood
for
the
truth
You
were
a
guide
for
the
elders
and
youth
Oh,
Jimmy
Papa
Kuyateh
Yillah,
you
gave
your
all
Answering
the
community's
desperate
call
We
lift
our
hands
and
we
offer
a
prayer
Knowing
your
spirit
is
still
hovering
there
Yes
Lord,
we
thank
You
for
the
time
we
had
Even
in
the
sorrow,
we
are
not
sad
Oh,
Jimmy
Papa,
your
legacy
remains
Breaking
the
silence
and
healing
the
pains
You
were
a
councillor,
a
brother,
a
friend
A
message
of
hope
that
will
never
end
Jimmy
Papa
Kuyateh
Yillah,
rest
in
the
light
Walking
with
the
angels,
shining
so
bright
Praise
Him,
for
the
life
that
you
gave
Leaving
a
footprint
that
time
cannot
pave
Your
office
was
open,
your
spirit
was
free
You
taught
us
the
meaning
of
true
unity
You
built
up
the
bridges
that
others
would
break
Giving
your
best
for
the
people's
sake
Amen,
we
celebrate
the
mark
that
you
left
Even
in
the
moments
of
feeling
bereft
Your
wisdom
was
steady,
your
vision
was
clear
We
hold
your
memory
so
close
and
so
dear
Glory
to
the
work
that
you
started
on
earth
A
testament
truly
of
infinite
worth
Oh,
Jimmy
Papa,
your
legacy
remains
Breaking
the
silence
and
healing
the
pains

By
