Copper Queens Anthem (Remix)

Man (speaking): Another morning... Another headache... Another promise broken.

I told my children, "Daddy will stop drinking."

I told my wife, "Things will be different."

I even told myself, "This is my last bottle."

But here I am again...

Lesa... If You can still hear me... Please... Don't give up on me.

Verse 1

I wake up with another heavy head, Empty bottles beside my bed. Phone full of missed calls from my family, They still love me, but they're tired of me.

Mama cries every time I leave, My children wonder if I'll ever believe. I keep saying tomorrow I'll change, But tomorrow always stays the same.

Neighbours whisper when I walk by, Some have already said goodbye. They only see another drunk, Nobody knows how deep I've sunk.

Pre-Chorus

Ndelila mu menso yakwe Lesa, Nshilefwaya ubu bwafya. I know I've fallen many times, But I still believe You hear my cries.

Chorus

One more chance, Lord don't let me fall. I'm tired of this prison after all.

Ndefwaya ubwikashi ubupya, Lesa njibukishe mu njira.

No more tears, No more lies, I want to see hope In my children's eyes.

One more chance... That's all I'm asking for.

Verse 2

Friends say, "Come on, just one more drink."

But they don't know How close I am to the brink.

I laugh outside, But inside I break. Every promise I make, I fail to keep.

My wife deserves a better man, Someone who can truly stand. I've wasted years chasing the night, Now I'm searching for the light.

I sold my peace For another bottle. Lost my dignity For a little laughter.

When morning comes, The laughter disappears, Leaving only shame And silent tears.

Bridge 1

Ndalakwa koma sindifuna kukhala chonchi. Lesa ndithandizeni.

Nalitemwa abaume nabaice bandi. Ndefwaya ukutendeka cipya.

I know recovery Won't happen overnight.

But if You hold my hand, I'll keep fighting.

Chorus

One more chance... Lord hear my prayer.

Even when nobody Seems to care.

Mwilandeka Tata wa muulu, Ndefwaya ukubwela ku mweo.

Today I choose To stand again.

My pain Will become Someone else's strength.

Verse 3

My son asked, "Daddy... Why do you always sleep?"

I couldn't answer.

Because the truth Was too painful.

My little girl Held my hand.

She smiled and said,

"I miss the old Daddy."

Those words Cut deeper Than any knife.

That day, I cried Like never before.

Spoken Testimony

To every man listening...

If you're hiding behind alcohol...

You're not alone.

There are people Waiting for you To come back home.

Don't wait Until you've lost everything.

Fight today.

One step at a time.

Verse 4

Today the bottle Still calls my name.

But now I answer with prayer.

Some days are hard.

Some nights are long.

But every victory Starts with saying,

"No."

I've learned Real strength Is asking for help.

Real courage Is admitting,

"I can't do this alone."

Big Gospel Bridge

Lesa... Thank You For never giving up.

When everybody left,

You stayed.

When I couldn't forgive myself,

You forgave me.

When I couldn't stand,

You carried me.

Now my testimony Will become somebody's hope.

Final Chorus (Repeat with Choir)

One more chance, Lord don't let me fall.

I'm no longer A slave at all.

Ndefwaya ubwikashi ubupya, Lesa mwansambilisha.

Now my children Smile again.

My wife Can laugh again.

My mother Can finally sleep again.

You've turned my tears Into a testimony.

One more chance...

Thank You, Lord...

Thank You...

I'm finally coming home.

Outro

(Choir softly repeats)

One more chance... One more chance...

Lesa tabaleka abana babo...

Never give up...

Because tomorrow... Your story... Can change.
