*VERSE 1*
I
was
lost,
I
was
broken,
I
was
down
on
my
knees
Couldn't
find
my
way
through
the
dark,
couldn't
find
any
peace
Sleeping
on
that
floor
with
nothing
left
to
give
Asking
myself
if
I
even
wanted
to
live
But
then
came
a
name,
like
a
prayer
on
the
wind
Maimbolwa—
that's
where
my
healing
began *
PRE-CHORUS*
She
walked
into
my
world
like
the
sun
breaking
through
Everything
changed
the
moment
I
saw
you
Your
beauty
ran
deeper
than
skin,
than
the
eyes
Maimbolwa,
you
became
my
prize *
CHORUS*
Maimbolwa,
Maimbolwa,
you
lifted
me
high
Maimbolwa,
Maimbolwa,
you
showed
me
the
sky
When
I
was
falling,
you
caught
me
with
grace
Maimbolwa,
Maimbolwa—
your
love
saved
my
face
You
told
me
stand
tall,
you
believed
in
my
dreams
Maimbolwa,
you
know
what
you
mean
Your
name
is
a
song,
it's
a
prayer,
it's
a
light
Maimbolwa,
you
made
my
wrongs
right *
VERSE 2*
December
arrived
and
my
life
got
reborn
From
the
ashes
and
shadows,
from
the
hurt
and
the
scorn
You
saw
past
the
broken,
the
lost,
and
the
worn
You
saw
a
man
worth
fighting
for,
a
soul
to
adorn
Every
word
that
you
spoke
was
a
balm
to
my
pain
Maimbolwa,
you
brought
back
the
rain
That
washes
away
all
my
sorrow
and
shame
Maimbolwa—
blessed
be
your
name *
CHORUS*
Maimbolwa,
Maimbolwa,
you
lifted
me
high
Maimbolwa,
Maimbolwa,
you
showed
me
the
sky
When
I
was
drowning,
you
pulled
me
to
shore
Maimbolwa,
Maimbolwa—
I
love
you
more
and
more
You
told
me
stand
tall,
you
believed
in
my
soul
Maimbolwa,
you
made
me
whole
Your
name
is
my
compass,
it's
my
guiding
star
Maimbolwa,
you're
who
you
are *
BRIDGE*
Unconditional
love,
that's
what
you
give
Unconditional
love,
that's
what
you
give
Maimbolwa,
that's
how
I
now
live
Beautiful,
strong,
with
a
heart
made
of
gold
Maimbolwa,
your
story
will
be
told
From
the
darkness
to
dawn,
from
the
floor
to
the
sky
Maimbolwa,
you're
the
reason
why
I
can
walk
with
my
head
held
up
high
Maimbolwa,
you
are
my
why *
VERSE 3*
Every
morning
I
wake
and
I
see
your
sweet
face
Maimbolwa,
you're
my
saving
grace
The
way
that
you
love
me
is
pure
and
it's
true
Maimbolwa,
my
life
starts
with
you
You
brightened
my
darkness,
you
opened
my
eyes
Showed
me
what
a
real
love
looks
like
No
conditions,
no
judgment,
just
faith
and
devotion
Maimbolwa,
you're
my
emotion *
FINAL
CHORUS*
Maimbolwa,
Maimbolwa,
you
lifted
me
high
Maimbolwa,
Maimbolwa,
beneath
this
African
sky
When
the
world
tried
to
break
me,
you
stood
by
my
side
Maimbolwa,
Maimbolwa—
you're
my
pride
You
told
me
stand
tall,
I'm
standing
now
strong
Maimbolwa,
with
you
is
where
I
belong
Your
name
echoes
through
my
heart
every
day
Maimbolwa,
in
every
single
way *
OUTRO*
Maimbolwa (
oh,
Maimbolwa)
You're
my
light,
you're
my
life
Maimbolwa (
oh,
Maimbolwa)
My
beloved,
my
wife
Maimbolwa,
Maimbolwa
Forever
I'll
say
your
name
Maimbolwa
You're
my
greatest
claim
to
fame ---
