(Ayy, yoh)
Yeah, looking back at the sun
Those days were golden, man
We keep moving, but we remember
Let's go
I sit and stare at the blue evening sky
Thinking 'bout the way the days used to fly
Back when the nshima was always on the plate
And we didn't worry 'bout the hand of fate
We had the laughter, the noise in the street
Running in the yard with the dust on our feet
No stress on the mind, just living for the now
If you ask me how, I don't even know how
Oh, those better days, they shine in my head
Everything was bright, the memories we spread
Those golden times, yeah, they stay in my heart
Even when the world tries to tear us apart
Better days, yeah, we lived like the kings
Chasing all the joy that the morning brings
Better days, I still feel the glow
Walking down the path that we used to know
I remember the friends and the dreams that we shared
Talking 'bout the future like we were prepared
Everything felt easy, like a song in the breeze
Just swinging on the branches of the old mango trees
No bills to pay, just the sun on our skin
Before the real struggles started to begin
But I thank the Lord for the life that I've seen
Living through the highs and the space in between
Oh, those better days, they shine in my head
Everything was bright, the memories we spread
Those golden times, yeah, they stay in my heart
Even when the world tries to tear us apart
Better days, yeah, we lived like the kings
Chasing all the joy that the morning brings
Better days, I still feel the glow
Walking down the path that we used to know
Life keeps changing, we grow and we slide
But the warmth of the past is always inside
I carry the wisdom, I carry the light
Even when the current days turn into night
(Yoh, natotela for the journey)
Oh, those better days, they shine in my head
Everything was bright, the memories we spread
Those golden times, yeah, they stay in my heart
Even when the world tries to tear us apart
Better days, yeah, we lived like the kings
Chasing all the joy that the morning brings
Better days, I still feel the glow
Walking down the path that we used to know
Yeah, better days, always in the soul
Keep it moving, keep it steady
From the Copperbelt to the world
(Ayy, yoh)
Gone but never forgotten
Bless up.
