Mama You're My Hero

Title: "Tata, Mwali Kuti Kuti?" (Father, Where Were You?)

(Intro)

Nalitampa ubumi ndekula ndekulolela... Every child wanted a father's embrace... I only had questions.

(Verse 1)

I watched my friends walking beside their fathers, While I walked beside my mother's tears. She carried burdens meant for two, Yet she never stopped praying for me.

Every school meeting, Every football match, I searched every face, Hoping you would appear.

(Pre-Chorus)

The pain made me feel forgotten, The silence made me feel unwanted. But heaven kept whispering, "My son, you are never alone."

(Chorus)

Nshakwata tata pa mushili, (There was no father on earth.)

Koma Lesa aba Tata wandi. (But God became my Father.)

When my heart was breaking, He lifted me up.

When everyone left, He stayed beside me.

Ndelumbanya... Because grace found me.

(Verse 2)

I nearly lost myself, Trying to become a man without a teacher. I made wrong turns, Looking for love in empty places.

But every mistake Brought me closer to God's mercy. He took my broken story And turned it into a testimony.

(Bridge)

To every single mother... Your sacrifices are seen.

To every child without a father... Don't let bitterness become your identity.

Forgive... Heal... Rise again.

Your future is bigger than your past.

(Final Chorus)

Nshakwata tata... But I found my Father in heaven.

The tears became songs, The wounds became strength, The lonely boy became a man.

Lesa, natotela... For carrying me When nobody else could.

(Outro)

One day... I'll be the father I always wished I had.

And my children Will never have to ask, "Where was my father?"
