Yeah,
we
gather
today
to
speak
of
our
daddy
The
one
who
leads
with
a
steady
hand
Listen
now
You
wake
up
early
while
the
sun
is
still
low
Walking
the
path
where
the
tall
grasses
grow
You
carry
the
weight
of
the
family
name
Without
any
pride
or
seeking
for
fame
Your
heart
is
the
fire
that
warms
up
the
wall
You
catch
us
each
time
that
we
stumble
or
fall
We
see
all
the
labor,
we
see
all
the
care
It's
in
the
quiet
way
that
you're
always
there

Oh
Achikandila,
you
are
the
pillar
of
the
home
With
you
by
our
side,
we
are
never
alone
Oh
Father,
your
wisdom
is
deep
like
the
well
Stories
of
courage
that
you
love
to
tell
You
are
the
soil
where
our
roots
hold
tight
Guiding
our
steps
through
the
day
and
the
night
Do
you
remember
the
lessons
you
taught?
To
value
the
things
that
can
never
be
bought
To
walk
with
the
truth
and
to
stand
for
what's
right
To
keep
our
spirits
burning
so
bright
Your
voice
is
the
rhythm
that
sets
our
own
pace
There
is
such
kindness
upon
your
old
face
We
thank
you
for
food
and
the
roof
overhead
And
all
of
the
prayers
that
you've
quietly
said

Oh

you

the

of

With

we
are

Oh
Father,
your

is

Stories
of
courage
that

love

You
are
the
soil
where
our
roots
hold
tight
Guiding
our
steps
through
the
day
and
the
night
Time
moves
along
like
the
flowing
of
streams
But
you
stay
the
keeper
of
all
of
our
dreams
Though
grey
turns
the
hair
and
the
pace
starts
to
slow
You're
still
the
greatest
that
we'll
ever
know
So
rest
for
a
moment
and
look
at
the
seeds
That
grew
from
your
goodness
and
all
of
your
deeds
We
are
the
branches
that
reach
for
the
sky
Because
you
taught
us
how
to
hold
our
heads
high
We
honor
the
man
who
has
given
his
all
Standing
so
tall,
answering
every
call
Your
legacy
lives
in
the
hearts
of
your
kin
Let
the
joy
of
this
moment
finally
begin
Kukazizila
