Yeah,
yeah
Life
is
a
long,
winding
road
But
we
keep
walking
For
those
who
paved
the
way
For
Mbere
Pierre
I
remember
the
dust
on
the
floor
of
the
room
Where
I
grew
up
beneath
the
pale
morning
moon
My
hands
were
small
but
my
heart
had
a
dream
To
be
the
mountain,
to
be
the
stream
My
father’
s
back
is
bent
like
a
bow
My
mother’
s
eyes
tell
the
stories
they
know
The
days
are
long
and
the
currency
thin
It’
s
a
quiet
battle
that
I’
m
living
within
I
want
to
stand
up
tall
for
the
ones
who
gave
all
I
want
to
answer
their
silent
call
Oh
Mbere
Pierre,
keep
your
head
to
the
sky
Even
when
the
clouds
are
passing
you
by
We’
re
building
a
bridge
out
of
sweat
and
of
soul
To
reach
the
summit,
to
reach
the
goal
It’
s
a
slow
steady
climb,
but
we’
re
holding
the
light
For
the
ones
that
we
love,
we
keep
up
the
fight
Oh
Mbere
Pierre,
let
the
vision
remain
Beauty
will
grow
from
the
seeds
in
the
rain
I
see
the
age
in
their
hands
as
they
hold
onto
hope
Like
a
sailor
who’
s
clinging
to
a
frayed
heavy
rope
The
means
aren't
there,
the
money
is
tight
And
I’
m
searching
for
ways
to
make
everything
right
But
I’
ve
got
the
hunger,
I’
ve
got
the
fire
To
lift
them
up
higher
and
higher
and
higher
It
isn't
about
the
gold
in
the
bank
It’
s
about
the
heart
and
the
person
we
thank
I’
ll
work
through
the
shadows,
I’
ll
work
through
the
gray
Until
I
bring
color
back
to
their
day
Oh
Mbere
Pierre,
keep
your
head
to
the
sky
Even
when
the
clouds
are
passing
you
by
We’
re
building
a
bridge
out
of
sweat
and
of
soul
To
reach
the
summit,
to
reach
the
goal
It’
s
a
slow
steady
climb,
but
we’
re
holding
the
light
For
the
ones
that
we
love,
we
keep
up
the
fight
Oh
Mbere
Pierre,
let
the
vision
remain
Beauty
will
grow
from
the
seeds
in
the
rain
It’
s
a
marathon,
not
a
sprint
in
the
heat
Keep
the
rhythm
of
life
in
your
own
two
feet
Time
might
be
heavy,
the
weight
might
be
vast
But
the
love
that
we
carry
is
built
for
to
last
Yes,
it’
s
built
for
to
last
Oh
Mbere
Pierre,
keep
your
head
to
the
sky
Even
when
the
clouds
are
passing
you
by
We’
re
building
a
bridge
out
of
sweat
and
of
soul
To
reach
the
summit,
to
reach
the
goal
It’
s
a
slow
steady
climb,
but
we’
re
holding
the
light
For
the
ones
that
we
love,
we
keep
up
the
fight
Oh
Mbere
Pierre,
let
the
vision
remain
Beauty
will
grow
from
the
seeds
in
the
rain
Keep
pushing
forward,
Pierre
For
mom
and
dad
For
everything
you
are
Everything
you
will
be
Just
keep
the
faith (
