[female

Ayy,
yoh)
For
the
one
who
held
me
close
Even
when
the
road
was
long
Mama
Gertrude,
you
are
my
heart
Yeah,
this
one
is
for
you
I
remember
days
when
I
was
standing
in
the
rain
You
came
along
and
you
washed
away
the
pain
They
say
blood
is
thicker,
but
you
proved
them
wrong
You
gave
me
shelter,
you
made
me
feel
like
I
belong
Namoonde
Katandula,
the
name
I
hold
so
dear
You
whispered
softly,
you
chased
away
my
fear
Mama
Gertrude,
you
are
my
mother
in
my
soul
You
took
my
broken
pieces
and
you
made
them
whole
I
call
you
Mama,
'cause
that
is
what
you
are
to
me
You
gave
me
love,
you
gave
me
wings
so
I
could
be
free
Oh,
Mama
Gertrude,
you
are
my
mother
in
my
soul
People
look
at
us
and
they
wonder
how
it
grows
A
bond
so
deep
that
only
heaven
truly
knows
You
didn't
give
me
life,
but
you
gave
me
better
days
You
taught
me
how
to
walk,
you
guided
all
my
ways
Chivans
Mooya
is
the
name
I
sing
with
pride
With
you
beside
me,
I
have
nothing
left
to
hide
Mama
Gertrude,
you
are
my
mother
in
my
soul
You
took
my
broken
pieces
and
you
made
them
whole
I
call
you
Mama,
'cause
that
is
what
you
are
to
me
You
gave
me
love,
you
gave
me
wings
so
I
could
be
free
Oh,
Mama
Gertrude,
you
are
my
mother
in
my
soul
Some
say
it's
chance,
but
I
know
it's
grace
I
see
the
kindness
shining
in
your
face
Through
all
the
seasons,
you
never
once
withdrew
Mama,
my
heartbeat
will
always
beat
for
you
Mama
Gertrude,
you
are
my
mother
in

soul
You
took
my
broken
pieces
and

made
them
whole

that
is
what
you
are
to
me
You
gave
me
love,
you
gave
me
wings
so
I
could
be
free
Oh,
Mama
Gertrude,
you
are
my
mother
in
my
soul
Yeah,
Mama
Gertrude
Namoonde
Katandula
You
are
the
best
My
heart
is
yours,
