*Verse 1*
I
was
tired,
drained,
couldn't
even
smile
for
pictures
Phone
wasn't
mine,
words
stuck
in
my
chest
The
hospital
walls
felt
so
heavy
those
days
I
didn't
feel
like
myself *
Pre-Chorus*
But
then... *
Chorus*
When
they
said
your
name,
Mntungwa
Something
inside
me
changed
I
felt
hope
again
I
felt
like
things
would
be
alright
Your
kindness,
no
pretending
Made
the
hard
days
bearable
When
they
said
your
name
I
found
hope
again *
Verse 2*
You
cared
when
I
had
nothing
to
give
back
You
stayed
when
I
couldn't
even
talk
I
longed
for
words,
private,
in
my
own
time
You
gave
me
comfort
I
couldn't
define *
Bridge*
From
hospital
beds
to
today
From "
I
don't
know
how"
to "
I'm
held
by
you"
Thank
you
for
the
heart
that
doesn't
pretend
You
made
my
stay
here...
easier *
Outro*
When
they
said
your
name...
I
felt
hope
again,
Mntungwa
wami
From
Zamajali,
with
love
Ndiyakuthanda
Zamajali
calling
to
Mntungwa.
Hope
calling
to
Hope.
Zamajali
will
cherish
always.
Thank
you
Yesss 🙌🏾
Let’
s
go,
Mntungwa. *"
When
They

When

said
your

your
name
I

tired,
