A song made by Ricky C Ngezyi
Aahh… aahh…_
They said “orphan boy, what’s your future?”
I had no father’s name, just God’s hand…
Listen…
**
High school fees late, headmaster’s face was cold
Sat on empty stomach, uniform torn but my spirit bold
No mama to call, no daddy’s pocket to reach
Only God and dust, learning lessons life would teach
They laughed when I said “I’ll be something”
Said “teacher without shoes, who will listen?”
Night came heavy, ulcers burned my chest
But I whispered “God, if You’re there, give me rest”
**
Kukosa… but I refused to die _life is hard_
Tears on my pillow, but hope didn’t lie
They saw a tailor, God saw a king in disguise
**
They laughed at Ricky, said I’d never rise
Orphan boy with no one, no money, no ties
Paid my own fees, swallowed pain with my rice
God sleeps? No… God saw me through the night
From teacher to carpenter, to CEO with my name
They laughed at Ricky… but God changed the game
If you’re reading this crying, don’t quit the fight
God sleeps? No… God saw me, He’ll see you right
**
College came, no sponsor, I sold my skill by hand
Wrote assignments for coins, built tables to make a stand
Family said “come back home, this dream is too tall”
I said “my Father is in heaven, He’ll never let me fall”
Same people laughing, now ask “Ricky, how you made it?”
I don’t have the answer… I just never hated
Turned pain to purpose, needle to blueprint to plan
FurniMavens born from the dust of a struggling man
**
_Choir: God saw him… God saw him…
Through the night… through the pain…
God saw him… He’ll see you again_ _x2_
**
Ricky: They said I was finished at 18…
Choir: _But God… but God…_
Ricky: But God was just beginning with me…
Choir: _He’s beginning with you… He’s beginning with you…_
Ricky: If you’re an orphan reading this…
Choir: _Your chapter 2 is coming… your chapter 2 is coming…_
All: Your story isn’t over!
**
_Choir lead, you sing with them_
They laughed at Ricky, said I’d never rise
Orphan boy with no one, no money, no ties
Paid my own fees, swallowed pain with my rice
God sleeps? No… God saw me through the night
From teacher to carpenter, to degree on my wall
They laughed at Ricky… but God heard my call
_All + Choir together_
So if they laugh at you today, hold on tight
God sleeps? No… God sees you. You will be alright! _x3_
**
Ricky C. Ngezyi… orphan no more
Son of God, builder of more
_Choir: If he made it from dust… so will you…_
If I made it from dust… so will you
God sleeps? No… He’s watching you
_Choir: He’s watching you… aahh…_
