Aweh!)
Yeah,
today
we
celebrate
a
legend
Our
mother,
our
father,
our
everything
Mama
Maria,
this
one
is
for
you (
Remember 2004
your
first
blessing )
Early
in
the
morning
you
were
up
on
your
feet
Fighting
the
world
so
that
we
could
eat
When
the
road
was
rocky
and
the
path
was
steep
You
carried
the
burden,
promises
you
keep
Working
two
jobs,
yeah
you
did
it
all
Catching
us
steady
so
we
never
fall
Sacrificing
dreams
just
to
pay
the
fees
Putting
our
comfort
before
your
own
needs
Oh
Maria,
you
are
the
rock,
you
are
the
light
You
fought
for
us
through
the
darkest
night
Both
mom
and
dad,
yeah
you
played
every
part
We
love
you
deep
from
the
bottom
of
our
heart
Maria,
our
queen,
you
deserve
all
the
best
In
this
life,
mama,
you
are
simply
the
best (
Remember 2005
how
you
named
her
faith!)
I
remember
times
when
you
went
through
GBV
with
no
one
to
protect
you
being
beaten
like
a
toy
But
you
never
gave
up
on
us
you
stood
by
our
side
and
support
us,
through
it
all
Smiling
through
pain,
yeah
you
kept
it
cool
Teaching
us
life
in
your
own
golden
school
Every
single
sacrifice,
we
see
it
all
now
We're
standing
tall
'cause
you
showed
us
how
No
man
could
match
what
you’
ve
done
for
the
crew
Mama
Maria,
we
owe
it
all
to
you
Oh
Maria,
you
are
the
rock,
you
are
the
light
You
fought
for
us
through
the
darkest
night
Both
mom
and
dad,
yeah
you
played
every
part
We
love
you
deep
from
the
bottom
of
our
heart
Maria,
our
queen,
you
deserve
all
the
best
In
this
life,
mama,
you
are
simply
the
best
In
this
life,
mama,
you
are
simply
the
best (
Ohh
not
forgetting 2008
when
you
were
blessed
with
knowledge !)
Look
at
the
fruit
of
your
labor
today
We’
re
walking
in
grace ‘
cause
you
paved
the
way
From
the
Venda
streets
to
the
top
of
the
world
Your
banner
of
love
is
proudly
unfurled
Oh
Maria,
you
are
the
rock,
you
are
the
light
You
fought
for
us
through
the
darkest
night
