(Soft guitar strumming)
Natotela, ba Edward, ba Josephine...
Ayy, yoh, thank you for the love.
I remember every night, you stayed up praying while I sleep
You taught me discipline, the lessons that I keep
“Be kind, be honest, be the one to show them care”
Mayo, I didn’t get it then, but now I swear
All the early mornings and the books I had to read
You gave me everything, you planted the seed
Now look at me today, your child is now a nurse!
Your prayers and your hard work, they bless my universe
Edward Chibwe, Josephine Chibwe, I’m your pride
My roots, my wings, I’m walking by your side
You raised me well, oh! Natotela, you raised me well!
Dad, your silent strength showed me how to stand tall
Mom, your gentle hands taught me never to fall
When the night shift is long and the patients are crying
I hear your voice, it's your legacy I’m living
If I had ten lives, I would choose you again
Ba Edward, ba Josephine, your love never ends
Now look at me today, your child is now a nurse!
Your prayers and your hard work, they bless my universe
Edward Chibwe, Josephine Chibwe, I’m your pride
My roots, my wings, I’m walking by your side
You raised me well, oh! Natotela, you raised me well!
Thank you, Mum and Dad.
Ba Edward, ba Josephine...
You raised me well.
Ayy, forever yours.
