From the Ashes (Remix)
A song made by Mr Siabasonda
Yoh! (Ayy)
Muli shani, this is my story o
Natotela, Mayo, we thank God today
Back in ninety-nine, fire burn the grass house
Mulamfu primary, we had to run out
But we survived the heat, we survived the flame
Two thousand and eight, Kabanga mission came
Grade nine was passed, but no money for the fee
Omo, no coin to make my eyes see
Two thousand and nine, working hard on Kala farm
Just a general worker, pushing with my arm
But today we say Natotela! (Thank you!)
Ifwe we are rising, we are shining bright (Ayy!)
From the fire to the light, no more dark night
Grandma held my hand, we walked to Namwianga
Zambian Mission Fund, you broke the heavy hunger
Oh my parents did their best, we are standing tall
We never fall, we never fall at all!
Two thousand and ten, I wrote the exam again
Passed with flying colors, forgot about the pain
Namwianga gave me hope, Canada sent the grace
Then DAPP picked me up, I found my own place
Field officer working, paying my own way
Grandma's blessings guide me, till this very day
No more grass-house fire, now we elevate
Through the struggle and the trials, we appreciate
But today we say Natotela! (Thank you!)
Ifwe we are rising, we are shining bright (Ayy!)
From the fire to the light, no more dark night
Grandma held my hand, we walked to Namwianga
Zambian Mission Fund, you broke the heavy hunger
Oh my parents did their best, we are standing tall
We never fall, we never fall at all!
Mayo, we made it!
Natotela to the system, thank you Canada
DAPP, we thank you
Grandma, I love you (Yoh!)
It is done.
