Amayi Wanga (My Mother)

Amayi wanga, nkhukuthokoza (My mother, I thank you)

For everything you've done

From the day I took my first breath

You held me close, gave me your best

Through sleepless nights and worried days

You showed me love in countless ways

You sacrificed your dreams for mine

Worked your fingers to the bone each time

When I was lost, you were my guide

Amayi, you were always by my side

Thank you, Amayi, for all you've done

You're my hero, you're my number one

Every prayer you prayed, every tear you cried

Shaped the person that I am inside

Nkhukuthokoza, hallelujah

For your love that saw me through, Amayi

Thank you, thank you, Amayi wanga

I wouldn't be here without you

You taught me faith when times were hard

Showed me God's love in your every word

Your hands were rough but your heart was gold

Stories of your strength will forever be told

The meals you cooked with what little we had

The wisdom you shared when I felt sad

You are my blessing, heaven-sent

Every moment with you, time well spent

Thank you, Amayi, for all you've done

You're my hero, you're my number one

Every prayer you prayed, every tear you cried

Shaped the person that I am inside

Nkhukuthokoza, hallelujah

For your love that saw me through, Amayi

Thank you, thank you, Amayi wanga

I wouldn't be here without you

Amayi wanga, nkhukuthokoza (My mother, I thank you)

Forever grateful, yes Lord

Amayi wanga, I love you
