(Whispered) Rest well, Papa.
We miss you so much.
'Til we meet again, Gasper.
The sun rises slowly over the Copperbelt today,
But the light feels different since you went away.
I walk through the streets where we used to talk,
Feeling the silence in every single walk.
I remember your laughter, your wisdom so deep,
These are the memories that my heart will keep.
Oh, Papa Gasper, you have gone to your rest,
Of all the fathers, you were truly the best.
Ukuya kwenu, damifuluka, you’re safe in His hand,
Walking the shores of that beautiful land.
'Til we meet again, 'til we meet again,
Rest in the love that will never end.
I hear your voice in the wind when it blows,
Guiding me through all the highs and the lows.
You taught me to stand, you taught me to fight,
Even in darkness, you were my light.
It hurts to be here without you, it’s true,
But I’ll live my life to honor you.
Oh, Papa Gasper, you have gone to your rest,
Of all the fathers, you were truly the best.
Ukuya kwenu, damifuluka, you’re safe in His hand,
Walking the shores of that beautiful land.
'Til we meet again, 'til we meet again,
Rest in the love that will never end.
No more sorrow, no more pain for you now,
I make this promise, I’m making this vow.
I’ll carry your legacy, I’ll keep it so strong,
In every prayer, you’ll be my song.
Oh, Papa Gasper, you have gone to your rest,
Of all the fathers, you were truly the best.
Ukuya kwenu, damifuluka, you’re safe in His hand,
Walking the shores of that beautiful land.
'Til we meet again, 'til we meet again,
Rest in the love that will never end.
Rest well, Papa Gasper.
We will meet again.
'Til we meet again, Father.
