(Acoustic guitar pluck)
Yoh... Mama wami... (Yeah...)
You stood tall when the clouds were dark.
Siyabonga, Mama.
When Baba left us, the world fell quiet
Two little girls, crying in the night
But you wiped our tears, held us so tight
Uthando lwakho, our shining light
You carried the weight, you didn't break
Every single sacrifice you had to make
Oh, you are our shield and our grace
Umduduzi in this empty space
Yebo, we see the strength in your eyes
Underneath the stormy skies
Oh Mama wami, you are our hero
When everything was down to zero
For your two girls, you stood so strong
Teaching us where we belong
Siyabonga Mama, oh we love you
Siyabonga Mama, yes we do
You worked all day, prayed all night
Keeping the hope, keeping us bright
No more tears, only pride in our home
With you, Mama, we are never alone
You are the pillar, the rock of our life
Overcoming all of the pain and the strife
Oh Mama wami, you are our hero
When everything was down to zero
For your two girls, you stood so strong
Teaching us where we belong
Siyabonga Mama, oh we love you
Siyabonga Mama, yes we do
Sharp sharp, Mama.
You did it for us.
Siyabonga... (fade out on soft guitar)
