Yeah,

one
goes
out
to
the
roots
To
the
foundation
that
never
wavers
Mr.
and
Mrs.
Mwelwa
We
celebrate
you
today
Morning
light
hits
the
frame
on
the
wall
Eight
children
standing,
answering
the
call
Two
daughters
steady,
six
sons
standing
tall
We
watched
you
build
a
house
that
would
never
fall
Dad,
you
were
the
pillar,
the
strength
in
the
night
Mom,
you
were
the
compass,
keeping
us
bright
From
the
early
days
working
to
make
ends
meet
You
put
the
rhythm
in
our
hearts
and
shoes
on
our
feet
Oh,
Mr.
and
Mrs.
Mwelwa,
you’
re
the
gold
A
story
of
love
that
never
grows
old
Ukutemwana,
that’
s
the
lesson
we
learned
For
every
sacrifice
and
the
grace
that
you
earned
We
thank
you,
Father,
we
thank
you,
Mother
There’
s
truly
no
love
like
the
one
for
each
other
Six
brothers
learning
how
to
be
men
Two
sisters
blooming,
blooming
again
You
taught
us
to
give,
you
taught
us
to
share
Even
when
the
cupboard
was
thin,
you
showed
us
you
care
Dad,
your
wisdom
is
a
heavy,
golden
crown
Mom,
your
kindness
never
let
us
feel
down
Eight
hearts
beating
as
one
in
this
home
No
matter
how
far
in
this
world
we
might
roam
Oh,
Mr.
and
Mrs.
Mwelwa,
you’
re
the
gold
A
story
of
love
that
never
grows
old
Ukutemwana,

the
lesson
we
learned
For
every
sacrifice
and
the
grace
that
you
earned
We
thank
you,
Father,
we
thank
you,
Mother
There’
s
truly
no
love
like
the
one
for
each
other
It’
s
not
just
the
blood,
it’
s
the
way
that
you
lead
Planting
the
harvest
from
a
very
small
seed
From
the
family
of
eight
to
the
branches
that
grow
You’
re
the
only
reason
for
the
love
that
we
know
Yeah,
you’
re
the
reason,
yeah,
you’
re
the
soul
Making
us
whole,
keeping
control
Oh,
Mr.
and
Mrs.
Mwelwa,
you’
re
the
gold
A
story
of
love
that
never
grows
old
Ukutemwana,

the
lesson
we
learned
For
every
sacrifice
and
the
grace
that
you
earned
We
thank
you,
Father,

you,
Mother
There’
s

no
love
like
the
one
for

For

Mwelwa
We

To
