Zoma
you
have
arrived
Many
years
have
passed,
joy
and
sorrow
intertwined
But
Mungu
has
been
faithful,
guiding
you
through
every
season
From
a
young
man
full
of
dreams
to
a
man
of
reason
You've
climbed
the
mountains,
you've
walked
through
the
valleys
But
your
spirit
never
broke,
your
faith
never
wavered
Today
we
lift
your
name
up
high
in
jubilation
Zoma,
you
are
a
blessing
to
this
nation
Every
scar
you
carry
tells
a
story
of
strength
Every
smile
you
wear
shows
you've
gone
the
length
Mungu
akubariki
Zoma,

is
your
