Maureen the Pillar

(Ayy, yoh)

For the one who carries the weight

Maureen, the queen of the chipata

(Natotela, mama)

Early morning sun, she dey rise up alone

Eight beautiful souls waiting in her home

Since the day he went to rest in the sky

She wipe the tears, she no let them cry

Many people talk, say the load is too deep

But she dey work hard while the whole city sleep

From the nshima pot to the books in their hand

She’s the greatest mother across all of the land

Maureen, you are the rock, you are the gold

A story of strength that is yet to be told

Eight seeds in the garden, you nurture them all

You standing so tall, mama, you never fall

(E choke!)

Maureen, the pillar, the light in the dark

You carry the fire, you carry the spark

She wake up before the light touch the ground

No matter the wahala, she no make a sound

Eight children growing with love in their eyes

Looking at mother, a true living prize

She sacrifice comfort to give them a way

She work through the night and she pray through the day

Ifwe we see you, we honor your grace

The strength of a lioness is on your face

Maureen, you are the rock, you are the gold

A story of strength that is yet to be told

Eight seeds in the garden, you nurture them all

You standing so tall, mama, you never fall

Maureen, the pillar, the light in the dark

You carry the fire, you carry the spark

Though the road was long and the valley was steep

Chukwu is watching the promise you keep

Eight stars in the sky, they are shining so bright

Because you held them through the coldest of night

(Ayy, we rise!)

Maureen, you are the rock, you are the gold

A story of strength that is yet to be told

Eight seeds in the garden, you nurture them all

You standing so tall, mama, you never fall

Maureen, the pillar, the light in the dark

You carry the fire, you carry the spark

Yeah, for Maureen

Mother of the champions

Keep shining mama

(Natotela)

We love you on God!
