Mbere Pierre Shine On (Remix)

[male

vocals] (

Gentle

guitar

strumming,

steady

mid-tempo

beat

kicks

in)

Yeah,

life

has

its

seasons

But

the

sun

will

rise

again

This

one

is

for

Mbere

Pierre

Keep

pushing

forward,

brother

I

grew

up

in

the

shadows

of

the

humble

ground

Where

the

silence

of

the

pocket

is

the

loudest

sound

My

parents

gave

me

everything

they

had

in

hand

But

now

they’

re

getting

older,

walking

on

the

shifting

sand

I

see

the

years

written

deep

upon

their

weary

skin

And

I’

m

fighting

every

battle

just

to

let

the

light

come

in

The

path

is

narrow,

the

mountain

looks

so

high

today

But

I

refuse

to

let

the

vision

just

fade

away

I

carry

the

weight

of

the

dreams

that

we

shared

before

Knocking

on

the

wood,

waiting

for

the

open

door

I

see

my

father’

s

eyes

and

I

see

my

mother’

s

prayer

I

know

I’

m

going

somewhere,

I

know

I’

m

getting

there

For

Mbere

Pierre,

keep

the

fire

burning

bright

Even

in

the

morning

when

you’

re

looking

for

the

light

We’

re

walking

through

the

struggle,

we’

re

rising

through

the

pain

Dancing

through

the

sun

and

standing

in

the

rain

Oh,

Mbere

Pierre,

the

future

belongs

to

you

Keep

working

for

the

blessings,

let

the

dream

come

true

Yeah,

you’

re

the

chosen

one,

keep

your

head

up

high

Underneath

the

vastness

of

the

open

sky

I’

m

grinding

every

hour

just

to

ease

the

heavy

load

Staying

focused

on

the

rhythm

of

this

long

and

winding

road

I

haven’

t

got

the

riches,

I

haven’

t

got

the

gold

to

spare

But

I’

ve

got

the

strength

to

offer

and

a

heart

that’

s

still

aware

I

want

to

build

a

palace

for

the

ones

who

gave

me

life

To

cut

away

the

sorrow

and

to

heal

the

inner

strife

It’

s

not

about

the

fast

lane,

it’

s

not

about

the

speed

It’

s

planting

all

the

harvest

from

the

tiny

little

seed

I

see

the

transformation,

it’

s

coming

in

the

air

For

every

single

sacrifice

and

every

whispered

prayer

I’

m

moving

with

the

purpose,

I’

m

steady

in

my

stride

With

nothing

but

the

honesty

of

spirit

as

my

guide

For

Mbere

Pierre,

keep

the

fire

burning

bright

Even

in

the

morning

when

you’

re

looking

for

the

light

We’

re

walking

through

the

struggle,

we’

re

rising

through

the

pain

Dancing

through

the

sun

and

standing

in

the

rain

Oh,

Mbere

Pierre,

the

future

belongs

to

you

Keep

working

for

the

blessings,

let

the

dream

come

true

Yeah,

you’

re

the

chosen

one,

keep

your

head

up

high

Underneath

the

vastness

of

the

open

sky

Though

the

pocket

feels

empty,

the

spirit

is

full

I’

m

resisting

the

gravity,

the

heavy-hearted

pull

I’

m

giving

back

to

parents,

I’

m

making

it

right

I’

m

turning

every

darkness

into

morning

light

It’

s

a

legacy

of

patience,

it’

s

a

marathon

of

grace

I’

m

steady

moving

forward

at

a

comfortable

pace

For

Mbere

Pierre,

keep

the

fire

burning

bright

Even

in

the

morning

when

you’

re

looking

for

the

light

We’

re

walking

through

the

struggle,

we’

re

rising

through

the

pain

Dancing

through

the

sun

and

standing

in

the

rain

Oh,

Mbere

Pierre,

the

future

belongs

to

you

Keep

working

for

the

blessings,

let

the

dream

come

true

Yeah,

you’

re

the

chosen

one,

keep

your

head

up

high

Underneath

the

vastness

of

the

open

sky

Yeah,

keep

on

climbing

Mbere

Pierre

For

your

parents,

for

your

future

Everything

is

going

to

be

alright

Keep

the

faith,

keep

the

rhythm,

keep

the

love (

Fade

out

with

steady

percussion

and

guitar

melodies)
