Yeah,
life
has
its
weight
But
the
spirit
holds
the
light
For
Mbere
Pierre,
this
is
for
you
Keep
moving
forward
I
remember
the
dust
on
the
path
I
walked
I
remember
the
nights
when
the
hunger
talked
My
parents
are
getting
older,
hair
turning
gray
I
wish
I
could
take
all
their
burdens
away
The
path
is
narrow,
the
resources
are
thin
I'm
fighting
the
silence
that
lives
deep
within
But
Mbere
Pierre,
you
are
built
for
the
climb
We’
re
turning
the
struggle
one
day
at
a
time
Oh,
Mbere
Pierre,
hold
your
head
to
the
sky
Even
when
the
winds
are
low,
keep
your
spirit
high
For
the
ones
we
love,
we
find
a
new
way
Working
for
the
morning,
chasing
the
day
Yes,
for
Mbere
Pierre,
the
light
will
grow
Keep
on
pushing,
watch
the
harvest
show
It
isn't
about
the
gold
in
the
hand
It’
s
the
grace
that
we
carry
across
this
land
To
care
for
the
elders,
to
honor
their
name
Even
when
life
doesn't
feel
like
a
game
The
weight
of
the
world
sits
heavy
on
me
But
vision
is
clearer
than
what
they
can
see
I’
m
planting
the
seeds
in
the
heat
of
the
noon
Knowing
the
blessings
are
coming
here
soon
Oh,
Mbere
Pierre,
hold
your
head
to
the
sky
Even
when
the
winds
are
low,
keep
your
spirit
high
For
the
ones
we
love,
we
find
a
new
way
Working
for
the
morning,
chasing
the
day
Yes,
for
Mbere
Pierre,
the
light
will
grow
Keep
on
pushing,
watch
the
harvest
show
Step
by
step,
the
marathon
starts
Strength
is
a
language
we
hold
in
our
hearts
No
looking
back
at
the
shadows
we
cast
We’
re
building
a
future
that’
s
destined
to
last
For
Mbere
Pierre,
the
season
will
turn
There
is
a
bridge
for
every
fire
that
burns
I
see
them
smiling,
I
see
the
relief
I’
m
trading
the
struggle
for
steady
belief
It’
s
not
just
for
me,
it’
s
for
them
in
the
end
The
pride
that
I
carry,
the
messages
I
send
To
Mbere
Pierre,
don't
you
ever
give
in
This
is
the
place
where
the
winning
begins
Keep
your
heart
open
and
keep
your
feet
fast
The
journey
is
hard
but
the
victory
will
last
Oh,
Mbere
Pierre,
hold
your
head
to
the
sky
Even
when
the
winds
are
low,
keep
your
spirit
high
For
the
ones
we
love,
we
find
a
new
way
Working
for
the
morning,
chasing
the
day
Yes,
for
Mbere
Pierre,
the
light
will
grow
Keep
on
pushing,
watch
the
harvest
show
Keep
pushing,
Pierre
For
your
family,
for
your
soul
The
light
is
coming
Just
keep
moving
Yeah,
keep
moving (
