[male

Gentle
piano
melody
leading

a
steady,
rhythmic
pulse)
Yeah,
this
one
goes
out
to
the
heart
of
it
all
For
the
one
who
held
the
line
when
things
were
small
Kalaba
Festus
on
the
track,
you
know
But
this
isn't
for
me,
it's
for
the
foundation
Listen
close
Early
morning
sun
hitting
the
window
pane
You
were
there
to
guide
me
through
the
wind
and
rain
Theresa
Nkandu,
the
name
that
stands
so
tall
You
answered
every
prayer,
you
answered
every
call
When
the
road
was
rocky
and
the
path
was
unclear
You
whispered
words
of
wisdom,
taking
away
the
fear
I
look
back
at
the
journey,
the
miles
that
we
have
crossed
You
taught
me
how
to
win,
even
when
the
battles
felt
lost
Oh,
Theresa
Nkandu,
you
are
the
steady
ground
In
a
world
of
noise,
you’
re
the
silence
that
I
found
Thank
you
for
the
care,
for
the
love
you
gave
away
Thank
you
for
the
care,
for
the
love
you
gave
away
You’
re
the
reason
I
am
standing,
shining
bright
today
Yeah,
you’
re
the
light,
my
mother,
my
guiding
star
No
matter
where
I
go,
I’
m
carrying
who
you
are
I
remember
the
struggles,
I
remember
the
nights
You
were
working
hard,
keeping
all
the
futures
bright
Mr.
Solver,
that’
s
what
they
call
me
now
in
the
streets
But
it’
s
your
blood
running
through
me,
every
time
my
heart
beats
You
never
asked
for
credit,
you
never
asked
for
fame
You
just
kept
on
loving,
you
just
kept
on
playing
the
game
Of
life,
with
such
grace,
with
such
a
quiet
strength
I
promise
I’
ll
go
with
you,
through
every
single
length
Oh,
Theresa
Nkandu,
you
are
the
steady
ground
In
a
world
of
noise,
you’
re
the
silence
that
I
found
Thank
you
for
the
care,
for
the
love
you
gave
away
You’
re
the
reason
I
am
standing,
shining
bright
today
Yeah,
you’
re
the
light,
my
mother,
my
guiding
star
No
matter
where
I
go,
I’
m
carrying
who
you
are
It’
s
not
about
the
riches,
it’
s
not
about
the
gold
It’
s
about
the
stories
that
remain
to
be
told
Of
a
mother’
s
devotion,
a
love
that
never
ends
Through
the
changing
seasons,
through
the
highs
and
the
bends
Theresa,
you’
re
the
anchor,
the
one
who
understands
I
place
my
future
safely
in
your
loving
hands
Oh,
Theresa
Nkandu,
you
are
the
steady
ground
In
a
world
of
noise,
you’
re
the
silence
that
I
found
Thank
you
for
the
care,
for
the
love
you
gave
away
You’
re
the
reason
I
am
standing,
shining
bright
today
Yeah,
you’
re
the
light,
my
mother,
my
guiding
star
No
matter
where
I
go,
I’
m
carrying
who
you
are
Yeah,
Kalaba
Festus
signing
off
But
the
love
remains,
forever
Theresa
Nkandu
Thank
you,
Mom
Everything
I
am,
I
owe
to
you (
