Legacy of Alfred Mvula
A song made by Alfred Chongo
(Aweh) We remember you tonight
(Yebo) Dedicated to the king, Alfred Mvula
The sun sets low over the dusty street
I feel your spirit move in the rhythmic beat
Grandfather, Great-grandfather, pillar of the home
Your guidance follows us everywhere we roam
We celebrate the life you built with grace
I see your wisdom written in this sacred place
Eish, the memories are gold, they never fade
We stand tall on the foundation that you laid
Alfred Mvula, your light is shining bright
Guiding our steps through the darkest night
Alfred Mvula, the legacy lives on
Even though you’re gone, we carry on with song
Sho, we honor you today
In every single step and every word we say
From the roots to the branches, you taught us to grow
With the patience of a river in the flow
Sharp sharp, you showed us how to stand for what’s true
Everything we are is a reflection of you
The stories of the past are etched in our soul
You made the broken pieces feel finally whole
Asambe, let’s lift our spirits to the sky
For a man whose memory will never die
Alfred Mvula, your light is shining bright
Guiding our steps through the darkest night
Alfred Mvula, the legacy lives on
Even though you’re gone, we carry on with song
Sho, we honor you today
In every single step and every word we say
Though the years roll by like the log drum sound
Your presence is everywhere, all around
Rest in power, rest in peace, our guiding star
No matter the distance, you’re never very far
(Aweh, yebo)
We gather the family to speak your name loud
Above the noise, above the restless crowd
Your strength is our armor, your love is our shield
In the harvest of the life that you helped to yield
Every generation feels your gentle hand
Walking the path across this beautiful land
Let the music play, let the rhythm tell the tale
Of the man who was mighty and never did fail
Alfred Mvula, your light is shining bright
Guiding our steps through the darkest night
Alfred Mvula, the legacy lives on
Even though you’re gone, we carry on with song
Sho, we honor you today
In every single step and every word we say
Alfred Mvula, you live in our hearts
(Yebo) That’s where the memory starts
Rest well, father, rest well
(Aweh) We love you always
