[female

Aweh)
We
keep
the
memories
close
Even
when
the
road
is
long 1997,
the
world
felt
cold
and
gray
Since
you
left
us
father,
you
went
so
far
away
But
look
at
the
garden,
look
at
what
we
grew
Even
through
the
shadows,
we
made
it
through
with
you
My
mother,
the
warrior,
standing
in
the
rain
She
carried
the
burden,
she
carried
all
the
pain
Sharp
sharp,
she
raised
us,
single
and
so
proud
With
a
heart
of
a
lion,
she
spoke
it
out
loud
Oh,
thank
God
for
the
family,
my
light
in
the
dark
My
mother
is
the
greatest,
she
left
a
lasting
mark
She
is
my
hero,
the
queen
of
my
soul
In
this
broken
world,
she
makes
us
feel
whole
My
family,
my
blessing,
my
love
remains
true
Chisanga,
Mumbo,
Mando,
Lupasha—
I
love
you
Chisanga,
my
sister,
you
paved
out
the
way
Mumbo
and
Mando,
you
keep
me
sane
every
day
Lupasha,
my
brother,
we
rise
like
the
sun
The
journey
is
tough,
but
we
are
never
undone
Eish,
the
memories
echo
in
the
quiet
of
the
night
But
I
look
at
my
siblings
and
I
know
it’
s
alright
We
honor
the
roots,
we
honor
the
tree
From
the
smallest
of
branches
to
the
heart
of
the
sea
Oh,
thank
God
for
the
family,
my
light
in
the
dark
My
mother
is
the
greatest,
she
left
a
lasting
mark
She
is
my
hero,
the
queen
of
my
soul
In
this
broken
world,
she
makes
us
feel
whole
My
family,
my
blessing,
my
love
remains
true
Chisanga,
Mumbo,
Mando,
Lupasha—
I
love
you (
Yebo)
Through
the
losses,
through
the
years
We
dried
all
the
sorrow,
we
wiped
all
the
tears
To
the
one
who
went
home,
we
remember
your
name
To
the
one
who
stayed,
you
are
all
that
I
claim
So
let
the
log
drum
beat,
but
keep
it
soft
and
low
Let
the
gratitude
rise,
let
the
spirit
show
We
are
survivors,
we
are
the
pride
With
my
mother,
the
legend,
forever
by
my
side
Sho,
we
carry
the
torch,
we
carry
the
flame
Love
is
the
answer,
and
family
is
the
game
Oh,
thank
God
for
the
family,
my
light
in
the
dark
My
mother
is
the
greatest,
she
left
a
lasting
mark
She
is
my
hero,
the
queen
of
my
soul
In
this
broken
world,
she
makes
us
feel
whole
My
family,
my
blessing,
my
love
remains
true
Chisanga,
Mumbo,
Mando,
Lupasha—
I
love
you
Asambe,
family,
we’
re
standing
so
tall
My
mother,
my
hero,
you
conquered
it
all
I
love
you
too
much (
Aweh,
peace)
