It's a beautiful day, we give thanks today
Yeah, Papa Samson, this one is for you
Walking through the shadows when the road was long
You were the melody that kept us singing strong
When the clouds were heavy and the light was low
You showed us the way that we ought to go
You stood like a mountain, steady and true
Everything we are, we owe a part to you
Through the storm and the fire, you held the line
Now we see the glory, now we see the shine
Oh, Papa Samson, we thank you today
For every blessing in the words you say
You kept us grounded when we wanted to fly
Under the vastness of the Southern sky
Oh, Papa Samson, we praise your name
You lifted the spirit, you fanned the flame
Sharp sharp, we celebrate your soul
You made us steady, you made us whole
Eish, the journey was hard, but you stayed near
You chased away the doubt, you chased away the fear
With a heart like gold and a wisdom deep
You protected the harvest we aimed to reap
We look back now at how far we came
It’s because of your love, it’s not just a game
Asambe, let’s move to the rhythm of light
Everything is clear, everything is right
Oh, Papa Samson, we thank you today
For every blessing in the words you say
You kept us grounded when we wanted to fly
Under the vastness of the Southern sky
Oh, Papa Samson, we praise your name
You lifted the spirit, you fanned the flame
Sharp sharp, we celebrate your soul
You made us steady, you made us whole
(Aweh) Higher, we’re rising up
(Let's go) We’re filling up the cup
From the streets to the heavens, the message is clear
Papa Samson, we’re glad you’re here
We’re walking in the victory you helped us find
Leaving all the troubles and the past behind
Your legacy is written in the lives you touched
You never asked for little, you never asked for much
Just a hand to hold and a guiding hand
To help us stand tall in this beautiful land
So listen to the log drum, feel the beat
We’re dancing with joy, moving our feet
For a father, a mentor, a guide so rare
We lift up our hearts in a humble prayer
Oh, Papa Samson, we thank you today
For every blessing in the words you say
You kept us grounded when we wanted to fly
Under the vastness of the Southern sky
Oh, Papa Samson, we praise your name
You lifted the spirit, you fanned the flame
Sharp sharp, we celebrate your soul
You made us steady, you made us whole
(Sho) We thank you, Papa Samson
(Yebo) Your light is shining on
Yeah, we celebrate you today
Always in our hearts, always leading the way.
