Oh, we lift our hands in gratitude today
For the roots that raised us, for the love that paved the way
In the heart of Makongeni, where the story first began
Where the spirit of the railway worker formed a mighty clan
We remember dear Fathee, with the wisdom in his eyes
And our Matheee, whose prayers reached up to the skies
Oh, Makongeni Estate, Nyumba A, standing strong and tall
Where the laborers of the tracks answered every single call
From the days of steam and iron, to the life we live today
We honor every parent who helped us find our way
Oh, Okongoo, home of the champions, home of the brave
For the foundation you gave us, our hearts now behave
With praise for the mothers, and praise for the dads
For the beautiful, holy blessing that we truly had
Yes Lord, we honor them now, in the glory of the light
In Makongeni, our home, shining ever so bright
We remember the laughter on the streets of Okongoo
From Kajanyuoloo to Miksi, where our golden spirits grew
Through the halls of Makongeni Primary, and Marurani too
Joseph Apudo gave us vision, helped us see the promise through
From the doctors and the lawyers, to the engineers so grand
From the teachers and the athletes, the finest in the land
We were born in the struggle, but we rose up in the grace
Found the hand of the Almighty in this special, sacred place
Oh, Okongoo, home of the champions, home of the brave
For the foundation you gave us, our hearts now behave
With praise for the mothers, and praise for the dads
For the beautiful, holy blessing that we truly had
Yes Lord, we honor them now, in the glory of the light
In Makongeni, our home, shining ever so bright
From Gorofani to Ohanga, through the small life and the great
We carry all the lessons that we learned inside the gate
Thank You Jesus, for the history, for the love that remains
It’s the blood of our parents running through our very veins
Hallelujah, we stand, we are fruits of the seed
Growing strong in the faith, fulfilling every need
So let the choir rise up, let the organ play the song
For the parents of Okongoo who taught us right from wrong
We are building on the legacy, we are walking in the truth
Preserving all the memories from the days of our youth
We owe it all to the prayers that were whispered in the night
Giving glory to the Father, keeping all our futures bright
Amen, for the home that taught us how to stand and how to see
God bless our dear parents, for eternity
Oh, Okongoo, home of the champions, home of the brave
For the foundation you gave us, our hearts now behave
With praise for the mothers, and praise for the dads
For the beautiful, holy blessing that we truly had
Yes Lord, we honor them now, in the glory of the light
In Makongeni, our home, shining ever so bright
We honor them, praise Him, yes Lord
Okongoo, our home, forever in our hearts
Thank You Jesus, for the foundation, amen
Glory, glory, hallelujah to the King
