Why, My Friend

(Ayy, yoh)

Just wondering, you know?

Sometimes things just happen like that

Ifwe, we dey keep moving, yeah

I look at the sky and I ask the clouds why

Everything change in the blink of an eye

We used to share nshima at the table all day

Now the path is different, we going different way

I no fit complain, life is a mystery

Writing our story in the book of history

But tell me, why the road must be so long?

And why the rhythm gotta change its song?

Tell me why, why does it have to be this way?

Searching for the sun at the end of the day

Why, why do we walk this lonely line?

Maybe one day everything gonna be fine

(Ayy, yoh)

Everything gonna be fine

I remember the streets of Lusaka so bright

Walking together through the middle of the night

Now the silence is heavy, I’m feeling the weight

Did we leave it to chance or we leave it to fate?

I see you moving, I see you catching your glow

But the reason for the distance, I really don't know

It's just the season, the changing of the breeze

Searching for answers, looking for the ease

Tell me why, why does it have to be this way?

Searching for the sun at the end of the day

Why, why do we walk this lonely line?

Maybe one day everything gonna be fine

(Ayy, yoh)

Everything gonna be fine

No heavy heart, I just want to understand

Like grains of sand slipping through my hand

Ifwe, we keep the love inside the chest

Wishing you peace, wishing you the best

So if we meet again by the Victoria Falls

I’ll answer the echo when the spirit calls

We laugh at the past, at the why and the how

Living in the beauty of the here and the now

No more questions, just the steady beat

Keep moving forward, yeah, keep on your feet

Tell me why, why does it have to be this way?

Searching for the sun at the end of the day

Why, why do we walk this lonely line?

Maybe one day everything gonna be fine

Everything gonna be fine, yeah

It's just life, you know?

Keep your head up, stay blessed

(Ayy, yoh)

Natotela, my friend.

Fine, fine, yeah.
