(Soft piano notes)
(Whispered) Womba…
We still feel you here, mama.
Rest in peace, our queen.
You were the light in every single room we enter
A sister, a daughter, an aunt at the center
Fourteenth of November, the day you said goodbye
But the love you gave us, it will never die
Hardworking woman, you carried the weight
Support in the family, you were truly great.
Oh, Womba Nkaza, we miss you so much
We’re longing for your smile and your gentle touch
Though cancer took the body, your soul is free
You’re the brightest star for all of us to see
Womba Nkaza, our hero, our guide
We keep your memory deep down inside.
A role model to the young and the old
A story of kindness, a heart made of gold
You were a friend to the stranger and kin
With a cheerful spirit that let the light in
We watched you fight with a strength so divine
Even in the shadows, you continued to shine.
Oh, Womba Nkaza, we miss you so much
We’re longing for your smile and your gentle touch
Though cancer took the body, your soul is free
You’re the brightest star for all of us to see
Womba Nkaza, our hero, our guide
We keep your memory deep down inside.
It’s hard to move forward when you’re not around
But we feel your presence on this holy ground
Rest now, dear sister, the battle is done
You’ve finished the race, you’ve captured the sun.
Oh, Womba Nkaza, we miss you so much
We’re longing for your smile and your gentle touch
Though cancer took the body, your soul is free
You’re the brightest star for all of us to see
Womba Nkaza, our hero, our guide
We keep your memory deep down inside.
Rest in peace, Womba Nkaza.
Until we meet again.
Always in our hearts.
