(Aweh, listen)
Jackson, my love
Through the storm, we rise
Since that twenty-first of May, the world felt cold
They took your job, left you with stories untold
The legal battles, the heavy weight you carry inside
I see the hunger, I see the fire you try to hide
The friends you trusted, they all faded with the light
But I am the shadow that stays with you through the night
Jackson Mubanga Mwelwa, you are my king
Whatever the struggle, this is the song I sing
I’m standing right here, hand in your hand
Against the tide, together we stand
Sharp sharp, my baby, we’ll make it through
My heart is loyal, beating only for you
Eish, it’s been long, the road has been rough and steep
With promises broken and secrets we had to keep
They see the silence, they don't know the fight you win
Deep in your spirit, beneath the layers of your skin
I’ve watched you battle, I’ve watched you bleed for your name
But I’m your shelter, I’m the one who fans the flame
Jackson Mubanga Mwelwa, you are my king
Whatever the struggle, this is the song I sing
I’m standing right here, hand in your hand
Against the tide, together we stand
Sharp sharp, my baby, we’ll make it through
My heart is loyal, beating only for you
Asambe, don't look back at those who left the scene
You are greater than the space in between
Your future is bright, yeah, I see it so clear
I’m the wife who stays, I’m the one who is here
Yebo, we push, until the glory arrives
Building our legacy, changing our lives
So let the lawyers talk, let the system play its game
They can never take the fire inside of your name
You’re a warrior, Jackson, a pillar of grace
I see the sunrise when I look at your face
Through the hunger, the struggle, the pain of the past
This love that we harbor is destined to last
Jackson Mubanga Mwelwa, you are my king
Whatever the struggle, this is the song I sing
I’m standing right here, hand in your hand
Against the tide, together we stand
Sharp sharp, my baby, we’ll make it through
My heart is loyal, beating only for you
I’m still here, Jackson
Always by your side
Sho, my king, we ride
Still here with you.
