[male
vocals] (
Soft
piano
swells)
Yeah
From
the
dust
to
the
stars
Listen
to
the
story
It’
s
time
to
rise
Two
thousand
and
four,
the
year
the
world
heard
my
cry
Born
in
Mseto
village,
beneath
an
open
sky
Life
was
a
struggle,
the
weight
was
heavy
on
my
soul
Trying
to
find
a
purpose,
trying
to
make
me
whole
I
looked
at
my
reflection,
I
looked
at
where
I
stood
Living
in
the
shadows,
doing
what
I
could
I
blamed
the
name
of
Komba,
I
blamed
the
cards
I
held
In
that
quiet
village,
that’
s
where
the
sorrow
dwelled
But
I
rose
from
the
ashes,
I
rose
from
the
clay
I
turned
my
darkest
nights
into
a
brighter
day
I’
m
the
son
of
Komba,
I’
m
breaking
every
chain
Rising
through
the
struggle,
rising
through
the
pain
I’
m
moving
forward,
I’
m
reaching
for
the
gold
A
story
of
a
champion,
a
story
to
be
told
I
swore
an
oath
upon
the
earth,
education
is
the
key
The
only
way
to
climb,
the
only
way
to
be
free
I
traded
in
the
hunger
for
books
upon
the
shelf
I
learned
to
fight
the
silence,
I
learned
to
trust
myself
No
more
looking
backward,
no
more
shame
inside
I
took
that
heavy
burden
and
I
turned
it
into
pride
I’
m
studying
the
law
now,
the
books
are
in
my
hand
Building
up
a
future
that
the
world
will
understand
But
I
rose
from
the
ashes,
I
rose
from
the
clay
I
turned
my
darkest
nights
into
a
brighter
day
I’
m
the
son
of
Komba,
I’
m
breaking
every
chain
Rising
through
the
struggle,
rising
through
the
pain
I’
m
moving
forward,
I’
m
reaching
for
the
gold
A
story
of
a
champion,
a
story
to
be
told
Oh,
Lord
grant
me
favor
as
I
walk
this
narrow
line
Let
the
light
within
me
continue
now
to
shine
I
do
it
for
my
parents,
I
do
it
for
the
name
I
do
it
for
my
parents,
I
do
it
for
the
name
I’
m
taking
all
the
struggle
and
I’
m
turning
up
the
flame
E
Mora
jalia,
hear
my
humble
prayer
tonight
Guide
me
through
the
battles,
keep
my
vision
bright
It’
s
bigger
than
the
village,
it’
s
bigger
than
the
past
I’
m
building
something
solid,
I’
m
building
it
to
last
From
Mseto
to
the
city,
the
vision’
s
getting
clear
I’
ve
conquered
all
the
doubt
and
I’
ve
conquered
all
the
fear
My
parents
gave
me
life,
now
I’
m
giving
them
the
best
Passing
every
hurdle,
passing
every
single
test
This
is
my
momentum,
this
is
my
new
song
Proving
to
the
world
just
where
I
do
belong
But
I
rose
from
the
ashes,
I
rose
from
the
clay
I
turned
my
darkest
nights
into
a
brighter
day
I’
m
the
son
of
Komba,
I’
m
breaking
every
chain
Rising
through
the
struggle,
rising
through
the
pain
I’
m
moving
forward,
I’
m
reaching
for
the
gold
A
story
of
a
champion,
a
story
to
be
told
Yeah,
for
my
parents
For
the
legacy
Edwin
Komba,
rising
Keep
climbing,
keep
rising (
Fading

Just
watch
me
shine
