This
one
is
for
you,
Mama
Modester
Mkandwire
We
thank
you,
we
honor
you
today
I
remember
the
days
when
the
sun
was
low
You
were
the
fire
that
helped
us
grow
Through
the
valley
and
the
coldest
rain
You
took
the
weight
and
you
eased
the
pain
Every
sacrifice
that
you
had
to
make
For
the
family,
for
the
lives
at
stake
You
never
complained,
you
stayed
so
true
Look
at
the
fruit
that
is
blooming
through
Oh,
Modester
Mkandwire,
we
bless
your
name
You
are
the
light
that
feeds
the
flame
May
the
good
Lord
cover
you
with
grace
And
see
the
smile
upon
your
face
Oh,
we
thank
you,
Mama,
for
all
you
do
May
the
heavens
pour
their
love
on
you
Nshima
on
the
table,
you
worked
so
hard
You
kept
us
safe
within
the
yard
Even
when
the
pockets
were
feeling
light
You
prayed
for
us
deep
into
the
night
Your
wisdom
is
a
treasure,
rare
and
gold
Stories
of
faith
that
you
have
told
We
stand
here
proud
because
of
your
hand
The
strongest
woman
in
all
the
land
Oh,
Modester
Mkandwire,
we
bless
your
name
You
are
the
light
that
feeds
the
flame
May
the
good
Lord
cover
you
with
grace
And
see
the
smile
upon
your
face
Oh,
we
thank
you,
Mama,
for
all
you
do
May
the
heavens
pour
their
love
on
you
May
your
days
be
long
and
your
heart
be
light
May
your
future
shine
ever
bright
From
the
Copperbelt
down
to
the
city
streets
We
celebrate
you,
this
rhythm
beats
Oh,
Modester
Mkandwire,
we
bless
your
name
You
are
the
light
that
feeds
the
flame
May
the
good
Lord
cover
you
with
grace
And
see
the
smile
upon
your
face
Oh,
we
thank
you,
Mama,
for
all
you
do
May
the
heavens
pour
their
love
on
you
We
love
you,
Modester
God
bless
you,
our
mother
Forever
grateful,
forever
yours (
Ayy,
natotela,
Mama) (
Yoh,
