Oh,
Mama
Alice,
the
light
in
our
home
Your
love
is
a
garden
where
we
all
grow
We
remember
the
lessons
you
taught
us
so
well
In
the
heart
of
the
village,
your
story
we
tell
Oh
Mother
Alice,
I
miss
you
so
much
today
I
have
never
seen
anyone
who
walks
in
your
way
Your
kindness,
your
mercy,
the
way
that
you
care
You
kept
our
family
together,
a
bond
that
we
share
You
taught
us
to
love
God
above
everything
else
You
taught
us
to
be
proud
of
the
cards
we
were
dealt
My
brother,
my
sister,
we
are
one
in
the
soul
You
gave
us
the
pieces
to
make
us
feel
whole
Oh
Mama
Alice,
you
are
the
foundation
of
love
A
gift
from
the
heavens
sent
down
from
above
Even
when
the
world
tries
to
bring
us
down
low
You
taught
us
to
smile
and
to
let
the
love
grow
Oh
Mama
Alice,
your
spirit
stays
near
In
every
moment,
we
have
nothing
to
fear
Even
if
they
talk,
or
they
hate
you
so
deep
Do
not
worry,
dear
child,
do
not
let
your
heart
weep
They
have
hands
that
will
hit,
they
have
words
that
can
sting
But
you
taught
us
the
joy
that
forgiveness
can
bring
You
told
us,
'My
children,
ignore
all
the
noise
Keep
your
head
held
up
high,
keep
your
heart
full
of
poise'
They
smile
in
your
face,
acting
like
they
are
friends
But
their
hearts
hide
the
schemes
and
the
darkness
that
bends
They
try
to
push
you,
to
make
you
feel
small
But
you
stood
like
a
tower,
standing
proud,
standing
tall
Oh
Mama
Alice,
you
are
the
foundation
of
love
A
gift
from
the
heavens
sent
down
from
above
Even
when
the
world
tries
to
bring
us
down
low
You
taught
us
to
smile
and
to
let
the
love
grow
Oh
Mama
Alice,
your
spirit
stays
near
In
every
moment,
we
have
nothing
to
fear
Come
my
children,
let
us
play
in
the
sun
Let
us
laugh
and
let
us
have
so
much
fun
Let
us
tell
stories
of
the
days
long
ago
In
our
home
of
Chishinga,
where
the
wild
rivers
flow
Let
us
play
the
old
games,
let
us
sit
by
the
fire
Your
wisdom,
dear
Mother,
is
our
heart's
desire
Your
grandchildren
gather,
they
call
out
your
name
In
the
hearth
of
our
lives,
you
are
still
the
bright
flame
You
taught
us
to
labor,
you
taught
us
to
strive
To
keep
all
the
dreams
of
our
people
alive
No
matter
the
hustle,
no
matter
the
fight
You
guide
us
like
stars
in
the
middle
of
night
We
carry
your
legacy,
we
carry
your
grace
We
see
your
reflection
in
every
single
face
Oh
Mama
Alice,
you
are
the
foundation
of
love
A
gift
from
the
heavens
sent
down
from
above
Even
when
the
world
tries
to
bring
us
down
low
You
taught
us
to
smile
and
to
let
the
love
grow
Oh
Mama
Alice,
your
spirit
stays
near
In
every
moment,
we
have
nothing
to
fear
We
remember,
Mother
We
walk
in
your
light (

Forever
in

hearts,
