[female vocals] MR
MASEWO — “
THANK
YOU
FOR
BEING
REAL”
VERSE 1
Twenty-first
January,
twenty-eighteen,
That's
when
you
came
into
my
life,
A
date
I'll
carry
in
my
heart
forever,
The
beginning
of
you
and
I.
You
proposed,
but
I
took
my
time,
It
took
months
before
I
said
yes,
Not
because
I
didn't
care
for
you,
But
because
I
was
scared
and
insecure.
I
was
on
a
wheelchair
at
that
time,
Still
learning
to
embrace
who
I
was,
Still
learning
to
love
myself
again,
Wondering
if
your
love
could
really
last.
I
thought, “
How
can
a
man
love
a
woman
Who
may
never
walk
again?”
I
couldn't
make
sense
of
your
feelings,
I
was
afraid
you'd
leave
in
the
end.
But
you
didn't
see
me
through
my
condition,
You
saw
the
woman
inside
of
me.
You
loved
me,
you
appreciated
me,
Even
when
I
couldn't
see
what
you
could
see.
CHORUS
Mr
Masewo,
thank
you
for
being
real,
For
loving
me
beyond
my
fears.
When
I
doubted
your
love,
you
stayed,
When
I
was
afraid,
you
stayed
near.
Years
have
passed,
and
you
kept
your
promise,
The
promise
you
made
at
the
start.
You
didn't
just
tell
me
that
you
loved
me,
You
proved
it
with
your
heart.
Through
every
season,
every
tear,
Through
every
mountain
we
had
to
climb,
Mr
Masewo,
I
thank
God
for
you,
For
loving
me
through
all
this
time.
VERSE 2
When
hospital
days
came
knocking,
You
were
there,
you
never
ran.
When
life
became
heavy
on
my
shoulders,
You
stood
beside
me
like
my
man.
My
educational
journey
wasn't
easy,
There
were
days
I
struggled
to
keep
going,
Days
when
everything
felt
uncertain,
But
you
stayed,
believing
in
me.
And
yes,
we
had
our
difficult
moments,
It
hasn't
always
been
perfect
or
rosy.
We've
had
days
when
things
weren't
right,
But
somehow
we
always
find
a
way.
Because
you're
a
man
who
knows
what
he
wants,
A
man
with
vision,
purpose
and
direction.
You're
a
man
who
knows
his
relationship
with
God,
And
I
admire
your
faith
and
connection.
CHORUS
Mr
Masewo,
thank
you
for
being
real,
For
being
constant
when
life
changed.
You
stayed
through
the
beautiful
moments,
And
you
stayed
when
things
got
hard.
You
loved
me
when
I
was
insecure,
You
stood
with
me
when
I
was
afraid.
And
all
these
years
have
shown
me
clearly
That
your
love
was
never
a
game.
BRIDGE
You're
a
man
who
doesn't
mind
Spending
his
last
coin
on
me.
A
man
who
gives
even
when
he
has
little,
A
man
whose
love
is
more
than
words
can
be.
You're
a
family
man,
A
man
who
knows
what
truly
matters.
A
man
with
a
vision
for
his
future,
A
man
whose
heart
is
built
for
family.
And
when
I
remember
all
you've
done,
One
scripture
speaks
to
me:
Philippians 1:3 — “
I
thank
my
God
every
time
I
remember
you.”
I
thank
God
for
the
man
you
are,
For
the
love
you've
shown
to
me.
For
staying
when
you
could
have
walked
away,
For
choosing
us
repeatedly.
FINAL
CHORUS
Mr
Masewo,
thank
you
for
being
real,
For
seeing
me
when
I
couldn't
see
myself.
You
loved
me
while
I
learned
to
love
me,
You
stood
beside
me
and
gave
me
strength.
From
twenty-first
January,
twenty-eighteen,
To
every
year
we've
made
it
through,
Through
hospital
rooms,
through
school
and
struggles,
Through
every
season,
I've
had
you.
Life
may
not
always
be
perfect,
But
together
we
always
find
a
way.
And
if
I
had
to
choose
all
over,
I'd
still
choose
you
today.
So
this
is
my
heart
speaking:
Thank
you
for
loving
me
true.
Thank
you
for
keeping
your
promise.
Thank
you
for
staying.
Thank
you
for
believing.
Thank
you
for
being
my
man.
Mr
Masewo,
I
thank
my
God
every
time
I
remember
you.
And
most
of
all…
Thank
you
for
being
real
with
me.
