Amayi wanga, nkhukuthokoza (My mother, I thank you)
For everything you've done
From the day I took my first breath
You held me close, gave me your best
Through sleepless nights and worried days
You showed me love in countless ways
You sacrificed your dreams for mine
Worked your fingers to the bone each time
When I was lost, you were my guide
Amayi, you were always by my side
Thank you, Amayi, for all you've done
You're my hero, you're my number one
Every prayer you prayed, every tear you cried
Shaped the person that I am inside
Nkhukuthokoza, hallelujah
For your love that saw me through, Amayi
Thank you, thank you, Amayi wanga
I wouldn't be here without you
You taught me faith when times were hard
Showed me God's love in your every word
Your hands were rough but your heart was gold
Stories of your strength will forever be told
The meals you cooked with what little we had
The wisdom you shared when I felt sad
You are my blessing, heaven-sent
Every moment with you, time well spent
Thank you, Amayi, for all you've done
You're my hero, you're my number one
Every prayer you prayed, every tear you cried
Shaped the person that I am inside
Nkhukuthokoza, hallelujah
For your love that saw me through, Amayi
Thank you, thank you, Amayi wanga
I wouldn't be here without you
Amayi wanga, nkhukuthokoza (My mother, I thank you)
Forever grateful, yes Lord
Amayi wanga, I love you
