[male vocals] THE
KAIGAMA
FAMILY
SONG “
Our
Roots,
Our
Strength,
Our
Story”
Written
and
owned
by
MK
Emmanuel
[Intro] This
is
our
story,
a
story
of
love
and
pain,
A
family
built
through
sunshine
and
through
rain.
From
the
home
of
Mathew
Miuya
Kaigama,
And
our
mother,
Binta
Sharɗa,
A
mother
strong,
a
mother
brave,
Whose
love
and
sacrifice
our
family
saved.
[Verse 1 – Our Parents] Retired
Army
Mathew
Miuya
Kaigama,
A
father
who
carried
duty
with
honour
and
pride,
And
Binta
Sharɗa,
our
mother
beside
him,
With
courage
and
faith
that
never
died.
Life
was
never
easy,
the
road
was
tough,
Survival
and
education
demanded
so
much.
But
through
every
hardship,
through
every
trial,
Our
mother
kept
walking,
mile
after
mile.
[Chorus] Oh,
Kaigama
family,
we
stand
as
one,
Through
every
storm
and
beneath
the
same
sun.
From
our
father's
strength
to
our
mother's
grace,
Our
family
story
will
never
be
erased.
Three
sets
of
twins,
what
a
blessing
divine,
A
family
connected
by
an
unbreakable
line.
Though
some
have
gone,
their
memories
remain,
In
our
hearts
forever,
through
joy
and
pain.
[Verse 2 – The Eldest Children] First
came
the
twins,
Bala
and
Gwandi,
The
eldest
children,
the
beginning
of
our
story.
Then
came
our
sister
Rahab,
And
brother
Iliya
with
his
strength
and
love.
Luka
came,
and
Salome
too,
Then
Emmanuel —
that's
me,
MK,
coming
through.
Isiya
followed,
then
Maitama
stood,
Together
we
faced
whatever
life
could.
[Verse 3 – The Younger Twins] Then
came
the
younger
twins,
Thlama
and
Kwaɓili,
Another
beautiful
pair,
another
family
blessing.
And
after
them
came
Benjamin,
The
last
born,
bringing
joy
from
within.
Look
at
our
mother,
what
a
woman
she
is,
Three
sets
of
twins —
what
a
blessing
this
is!
Through
every
child,
through
every
year,
She
gave
us
love
and
kept
us
near.
[Chorus] Oh,
Kaigama
family,
we
stand
as
one,
Through
every
storm
and
beneath
the
same
sun.
From
our
father's
strength
to
our
mother's
grace,
Our
family
story
will
never
be
erased.
Three
sets
of
twins,
what
a
blessing
divine,
A
family
connected
by
an
unbreakable
line.
Though
some
have
gone,
their
memories
remain,
In
our
hearts
forever,
through
joy
and
pain.
[Verse 4 – Remembering Those We Lost] But
every
family
carries
stories
of
tears,
Memories
that
remain
through
the
passing
years.
Our
beloved
Bala,
one
of
the
eldest
twins,
Left
a
space
that
no
one
else
can
fill.
And
our
younger
brother
Isiya
too,
We
remember
the
life
and
the
love
we
knew.
May
God
receive
them
in
His
eternal
care,
And
comfort
every
heart
that
still
holds
them
there.
[Bridge – Our Mother's Strength] Then
our
father
departed,
leaving
our
mother
alone,
But
she
stood
with
courage
and
carried
us
home.
When
the
road
was
hard
and
the
future
unclear,
She
held
on
firmly
and
conquered
her
fear.
Mama
Binta,
your
strength
we
celebrate,
Your
resilience
carried
us
through
every
weight.
You
gave
us
education,
you
gave
us
hope,
You
taught
us
to
stand
when
life
seemed
to
close.
[Verse 5 – The Struggle] Education
was
never
an
easy
road,
We
carried
our
dreams
and
carried
our
load.
There
were
days
when
the
struggle
was
real,
But
Mama
taught
us
never
to
kneel.
From
little
beginnings
to
where
we
are,
Every
sacrifice
became
a
shining
star.
The
story
of
our
family
cannot
be
told
Without
the
courage
of
a
mother
strong
and
bold.
[Final Chorus] Oh,
Kaigama
family,
remember
your
name,
Our
blood,
our
love,
our
story
remain.
Bala
and
Gwandi,
the
first
twins
we
knew,
Rahab,
Iliya,
Luka
and
Salome
too.
Emmanuel,
Isiya
and
Maitama
in
line,
Thlama
and
Kwaɓili,
another
twin
design.
Benjamin,
the
last
born,
precious
and
dear,
May
the
bond
of
this
family
remain
year
after
year.
[Outro] To
those
still
with
us,
may
God
give
us
grace,
To
those
who
have
gone,
may
they
rest
in
a
peaceful
place.
May
our
mother's
remaining
years
be
blessed,
For
all
she
endured
and
all
she
expressed.
May
God
unite
us
wherever
we
roam,
And
keep
the
Kaigama
family
forever
as
home.
This
song
is
our
story,
our
memory,
our
flame,
Written
with
love
in
the
family
name.
From
our
parents
to
every
brother
and
sister,
MK
Emmanuel
proudly
tells
the
story
of
our
family
forever.
