[female
vocals] (
Ayy,
yoh)
Deep
inside,
the
road
was
long
From
the
village
dust,
we
sang
our
song
Mwenzi
Daka,
we
rise
together
Kamphombo
village,
where
the
story
started
Mama,
you’
re
my
hero,
though
we
were
parted
To
raise
a
girl
child,
it
was
never
easy
The
road
was
rocky,
but
you
kept
me
breezy
You
taught
me
strength
when
the
world
was
cold
A
story
of
a
diamond,
a
truth
untold
Oh,
look
at
me
now,
I’
m
standing
tall
Through
every
heartbreak,
through
every
fall
From
the
village
girl
to
the
woman
I
see
Life
is
a
struggle,
but
my
spirit
is
free
Team
MERIT,
Tabesha,
we’
re
moving
on
Till
the
shadows
fade
into
the
dawn
I
remember
the
betrayal,
the
pain
in
my
chest
Someone
I
loved
put
my
heart
to
the
test
It
hurt
so
deep,
I
almost
lost
my
way
But
I
kept
on
moving,
day
after
day
Mulungu
pasogolo,
the
Lord
leads
the
path
He
shelters
my
soul
from
the
aftermath
Oh,
look
at
me
now,
I’
m
standing
tall
Through
every
heartbreak,
through
every
fall
From
the
village
girl
to
the
woman
I
see
Life
is
a
struggle,
but
my
spirit
is
free
Team
MERIT,
Tabesha,
we’
re
moving
on
Till
the
shadows
fade
into
the
dawn
It’
s
not
easy,
no,
it’
s
not
for
the
weak
Chasing
the
future,
the
life
that
I
seek
But
I
hold
the
memories,
I
hold
the
grace
Finding
my
shine
in
this
wide,
wide
space
Mulungu
pasogolo,
I
trust
in
the
light
Mwenzi
Daka,
we’
re
gonna
be
alright (
Ayy,
yoh)
Kamphombo,
you’
re
always
home
We
rise,
we
rise,
we
rise (
Natotela)
