Thobeka,
Thobeka
Mbali…
It
is
your
day
today,
my
dear
I
give
thanks
to
the
heavens
for
your
life (
Yeah,
the
blessings
are
shining
on
you…)
You
walked
into
my
life,
bringing
love
and
joy
Whenever
I
look
at
you,
I
see
a
gift
from
above
When
the
rain
fell,
we
stood
together
through
it
all
When
the
hard
times
arrived,
we
prayed
together
side
by
side
Throughout
every
path
that
I
walk
upon
I
want
you
to
walk
with
me,
my
Thobeka
Thobeka,
Thobeka,
Mbali
Oh,
you
are
the
flower
blooming
in
the
sun
Thobeka,
Thobeka,
Mbali
Celebrating
the
beautiful
soul
you
have
become
Every
moment
with
you
is
a
treasure
untold
Happy
birthday
to
the
heart
of
gold
We
have
built
a
foundation
that
will
never
break
With
every
memory,
for
goodness
sake
You
are
the
melody
in
my
daily
song
With
you
is
exactly
where
I
belong
No
mountain
too
high,
no
valley
too
deep
A
promise
of
love
is
a
promise
I
keep
Through
the
laughter
and
the
silent
tears
We
have
conquered
all
these
passing
years
Thobeka,
Thobeka,
Mbali
Oh,
you
are
the
flower
blooming
in
the
sun
Thobeka,
Thobeka,
Mbali
Celebrating
the
beautiful
soul
you
have
become
Every
moment
with
you
is
a
treasure
untold
Happy
birthday
to
the
heart
of
gold
I
thank
the
heavens
for
the
day
you
were
born
You
shine
brighter
than
the
light
of
the
morn
May
this
year
bring
you
everything
you
desire
May
your
passion
for
life
continue
to
fire (
Oh
mama…)
God
is
the
witness
to
all
that
we
share (
Yebo,
yebo…)
A
love
so
deep
and
a
heart
so
rare
So
let
the
music
play,
let
the
spirit
rise
I
see
the
gratitude
reflecting
in
your
eyes
Your
presence
is
a
gift
that
keeps
on
giving
Making
life
truly
worth
the
living
We
stand
here
now,
looking
toward
the
dawn
With
a
love
that
will
always
carry
on
Thobeka,
my
love,
my
light,
my
friend
A
journey
with
you
that
will
never
end
Thobeka,
Thobeka,
Mbali
Oh,
you
are
the
flower
blooming
in
the
sun
Thobeka,
Thobeka,
Mbali
Celebrating
the
beautiful
soul
you
have
become
Every
moment
with
you
is
a
treasure
untold
Happy
birthday
to
the

Happy
birthday,
Thobeka

you,
today
and
always (

celebrate
you.
