(Soft, reverb-drenched keys fading in)
Yeah.
Checking in from this side of the veil.
Can you hear me, Baba?
It’s been a long road, but the seed you planted… it’s blooming.
Listen.
The incense fades but the truth remains
You walked the path through the sun and the rains
A missionary soul, a beacon in the night
You taught us how to stand for what is right
I see your shadow in the way we pray
I feel your wisdom in the words we say
Though the chair is empty where you used to sit
The flame you ignited, we’re keeping it lit.
Oh, Reverend, can you hear our hearts tonight?
Everything you built is shining bright
The legacy lives, the mission stays true
Every step we take is a tribute to you
Rest now, Baba, in the arms of the grace
We’re holding steady in this race.
Ishaya is standing strong, carrying the weight
Iliya’s moving forward, deciding his fate
Haruna finds his rhythm, living out your dream
Hannatu’s light is brighter than it’s ever been
Yakubu’s steady, Maryam’s doing fine
We’re walking in the warmth of your design
Yeah, the foundation’s solid, the house is still whole
You poured your spirit into every single soul.
Oh, Reverend, can you hear our hearts tonight?
Everything you built is shining bright
The legacy lives, the mission stays true
Every step we take is a tribute to you
Rest now, Baba, in the arms of the grace
We’re holding steady in this race.
And Mama Fatima, she’s the rock of the shore
Keeping us united, giving us more
She holds the love that you left in the frame
Teaching us the honor in the family name
Through the trials and the joy, she keeps us aligned
A quiet strength that’s truly one of a kind.
We look at the harvest, we see what you grew
It’s all just a reflection of the love we knew
No darkness can touch what you left in our care
Your prayers are still floating, still filling the air
We’re doing well, Baba, we’re making you proud
Your name is whispered, never spoken too loud
Just a quiet reverence in the life that we lead
Living out the sermon of the life that you freed.
Oh, Reverend, can you hear our hearts tonight?
Everything you built is shining bright
The legacy lives, the mission stays true
Every step we take is a tribute to you
Rest now, Baba, in the arms of the grace
We’re holding steady in this race.
Yeah.
Ishaya, Iliya, Haruna, Hannatu, Yakubu, Maryam.
We all holding it down, Baba.
Mama Fatima, she’s got us.
Rest in peace, Reverend Hussaini Buhari.
Your work, it never ends.
It just lives through us.
