Totele Lesa Journey

[male

vocals] (

Upbeat

jangling

guitar

intro

with

rhythmic

bass

line)

Oh,

yeah

We

give

thanks

today

For

the

road

we

traveled

Listen

to

the

rhythm

I

look

back

at

the

path

where

I

started

from

The

valleys

were

deep

and

the

shadows

were

long

But

step

by

step

I

found

my

way

through

the

day

Walking

with

purpose

in

a

beautiful

way

I

didn't

know

where

the

morning

would

lead

But

I

kept

moving

with

a

heart

full

of

need

Through

the

dusty

roads

and

the

afternoon

heat

I

found

a

rhythm

in

the

soles

of

my

feet

Oh

Totele

Lesa,

I

lift

my

voice

high

Under

the

sun

in

the

Zambian

sky

You

brought

me

this

far,

you

guided

my

hand

Across

the

rivers

and

over

the

land

I'm

standing

here

steady,

I'm

standing

here

strong

Because

of

your

mercy,

I’

ve

found

where

I

belong

People

were

watching

the

way

that

I

go

Sometimes

moving

fast

and

sometimes

moving

slow

But

every

season

has

taught

me

to

grow

Learning

the

secrets

that

only

we

know

I

count

all

the

blessings

that

fell

on

my

path

Turning

the

worry

and

turning

the

wrath

Into

a

melody

sweet

and

so

clear

Chasing

the

silence

and

chasing

the

fear

Oh

Totele

Lesa,

I

lift

my

voice

high

Under

the

sun

in

the

Zambian

sky

You

brought

me

this

far,

you

guided

my

hand

Across

the

rivers

and

over

the

land

I'm

standing

here

steady,

I'm

standing

here

strong

Because

of

your

mercy,

I’

ve

found

where

I

belong

It’

s

a

long

journey,

but

I’

m

doing

just

fine

Taking

the

moments

and

making

them

mine

No

looking

backward,

the

vision

is

set

Remembering

goodness,

with

no

regret (

Jangly

guitar

solo

interlude)

So

let

the

drums

play

and

the

bass

line

ring

It’

s

a

song

of

gratitude

that

I

want

to

sing

Whatever

is

coming,

I’

m

ready

for

more

Walking

right

through

every

open

door

The

community

gathers

to

dance

in

the

light

Everything's

peaceful

and

everything's

right

Walking

together,

we

share

in

the

joy

Every

woman

and

man,

every

girl

and

boy

Oh

Totele

Lesa,

I

lift

my

voice

high

Under

the

sun

in

the

Zambian

sky

You

brought

me

this

far,

you

guided

my

hand

Across

the

rivers

and

over

the

land

I'm

standing

here

steady,

I'm

standing

here

strong

Because

of

your

mercy,

I’

ve

found

where

I

belong

Yeah,

we

move

forward

Totele

Lesa

Always

grateful

for

the

journey

Keep

the

rhythm,

keep

the

heart

Blessings

on

the

road (
