Bakari My King

Yeah, one love

Only for you, Bakari

Oh, listen now

Early in the morning when the sun starts to rise

I see the dedication shining in your eyes

Working every day just to keep us on our feet

Making sure our family life is always so sweet

You carry the weight without a single complaint

Sometimes I wonder if you are a real-life saint

Sacrificing everything to build a better way

I just want to thank you for every single day

Bakari, you are the rock I’m leaning on

My protector from the dusk until the dawn

Your love is like a fire, steady and so deep

Promises of loyalty that you always keep

Bakari, oh Bakari, my king and my heart

I promise we will never ever drift apart

Yeah, you are my everything, my soul and my mind

A better man than you, I know I’ll never find

I see the sweat upon your brow, I see the tired hands

Doing all you can to fulfill all of your plans

Protecting us from shadows, shielding us from harm

Everything feels better just to be within your arm

You never ask for glory, you never ask for fame

But I whisper to the heavens every time I say your name

In a world that’s changing, you are my steady ground

In your gentle spirit, true peace is always found

Bakari, you are the rock I’m leaning on

My protector from the dusk until the dawn

Your love is like a fire, steady and so deep

Promises of loyalty that you always keep

Bakari, oh Bakari, my king and my heart

I promise we will never ever drift apart

Yeah, you are my everything, my soul and my mind

A better man than you, I know I’ll never find

Jah bless the work you do, Jah bless the path you tread

With all the wisdom flowing through your head

I’m standing by your side through the joy and the pain

Like the desert flower waiting for the cooling rain

Easy now, my love, let me hold you close tonight

Everything about us is gonna be alright

So let the music play for the sacrifice you made

Your love is like the sun, it will never ever fade

From the hard times to the good, we are walking hand in hand

I’m so proud to be the queen to such a kingly man

Bakari, you’re the shelter in the middle of the storm

Keep me safe and happy, keep me protected and warm

Bakari, you are the rock I’m leaning on

My protector from the dusk until the dawn

Your love is like a fire, steady and so deep

Promises of loyalty that you always keep

Bakari, oh Bakari, my king and my heart

I promise we will never ever drift apart

Yeah, you are my everything, my soul and my mind

A better man than you, I know I’ll never find

Rise up, Bakari

My king, my heart, my soul

Yeah, keep on shining

Jah bless our home

One love, Bakari

One love.
