Yoh Ayy …………….. It’s Caliboy
Mmmmmmh
Aweh, mvela muntu wanga
It's not by your power, no no no
Mmmmmmmh
Mmmmmmmh
You survived that accident, miraculously
You walked away without a single scratch
Eish, tell me, how do you explain that?
You almost lost that job, but you are here today
You think you are clever, you think you work so hard?
Eish, look at your reckless life, but you still have God's card
It’s not because you’re smart, my friend, let's be real
There's a secret grace behind your life n the way you feel
Somebody has been praying for you muntu wanga
Just look at your life, full of God’s mercy n kindness
And thinking it’s by your strength, is total madness
Pantu somebody has been on their knees praying for you
Sometimes even in tears just to plead with God on your behalf
Mmmmmh
It’s because somebody prayed for you
Oh somebody prayed for you when you couldn’t stand
Don't be proud, don't be boastful muntu wanga
Somebody was down on their knees for you
Somebody prayed, yes, somebody prayed
That's why you see this brand new day
Somebody prayed, oh, somebody prayed
Never forget the price they paid for you.
Mmmmmh
Mmmmmh
Mmmh can’t you see?
Bad things happen to others, but you are preserved
Receiving blessings that you never deserved
So don't be selfish, reach out and help a stranger
Because someone's prayer kept you out of danger
Be humble, muntu wanga, show love everyday
Oh yes, be grateful n help others in any way
You are standing here because somebody prayed
And that prayer is what has brought you those blessings
Yes, that prayer is what has preserved your life n peace
It’s because somebody prayed for you
Oh somebody prayed for you when you couldn’t stand
Don't be proud, don't be boastful muntu wanga
Somebody was down on their knees for you
Somebody prayed, yes, somebody prayed
That's why you see this brand new day
Somebody prayed, oh, somebody prayed
Never forget the price they paid for you.
Mmmmmh
Mmmmmh
Mmmmmh
Mmh so suma dabwa che, when you just take look around your life
And see how you have been experiencing the favor you don’t deserve?
How good opportunities have been following you while others only wish?
So iwe ndani iwe, yes I’m talking to you, don’t think that it’s because unanzelu no
Don’t think that iwe ndiwe muntu maningi no no, somebody prayed
Pantu there are people who are more qualified for that job
There are people who are more skilled and more deserving
But God chose you anyways, because somebody prayed
Aweh, tekumaka yobe muntu wandi
Don't get boastful, don't get proud
Don't go shouting your own name aloud
Keep your head low, show some grace
We are all running in this earthly race.
It’s because somebody prayed for you
Oh somebody prayed for you when you couldn’t stand
Don't be proud, don't be boastful muntu wanga
Somebody was down on their knees for you
Somebody prayed, yes, somebody prayed
That's why you see this brand new day
Somebody prayed, oh, somebody prayed
Never forget the price they paid for you.
Mmmmmh
Mmmmmh
Mmmmmh
Elo, kambili che, you wouldn’t even know who’s praying for you
That’s God secret, nichisinsi chake Mulungu mwiniwake
He just has a way of raising people to stand for you when you can’t pray
We live this reckless life sometimes
Chasing the money and the bright street lights
We forget the hands that held us tight
Guiding us through the darkest night
Your grandmother, your mother, your loyal friend
Praying for blessings that never end
So drop the pride, leave it at the door
Be grateful for the grace and so much more.
And if you are to see what has been happening behind the scenes,
You would then know n understand that indeed somebody prayed
Mmmh
That accident you survived (somebody prayed)
That sickness cured (somebody prayed)
That sudden promotion (somebody prayed)
Those exams you passed (somebody prayed)
Icho chikwati icho (somebody prayed)
That baby you have (somebody prayed)
Mmmh yes…
It’s because somebody prayed for you
Oh somebody prayed for you when you couldn’t stand
Don't be proud, don't be boastful muntu wanga
Somebody was down on their knees for you
Somebody prayed, yes, somebody prayed
That's why you see this brand new day
Somebody prayed, oh, somebody prayed
Never forget the price they paid for you.
Mmmmmmh
Mmmmmmh
Mmmmmmh
So when you see a stranger on the street
With no shoes on their tired feet
Don't just walk pass and turn away
Help them out, make their day
Because you don't know who prayed for you
To make your wildest dreams come true
Spread the love, share the blessings too
It's the least that you can do.
Just like it is done unto you
That’s the power of prayer muntu wanga
Always know that somebody prayed, don’t be lost in your pride, you might fall
Life niku pemphelelana naku thandizana, tiyeni tisungane
Oh yes, I pray for you
You pray for me
We pray for them
That’s life, oh yes, that’s life
Somebody prayed
Somebody will always pray
Mmmmmmh
Mmmmmmh
Mmmmmmh
Somebody prayed for you muntu wanga…..
