Mtoto wa Mkulima (Remix)

[male

vocals] (

Gentle

acoustic

guitar

strumming)

Yeah

Keep

your

head

up

high

Even

when

the

road

is

long

We

keep

moving

Born

in

the

dust

where

the

earth

meets

the

sky

Son

of

a

farmer,

watch

the

years

go

by

Hard

times

knocking

at

the

wooden

door

Looking

for

a

way

to

give

a

little

more

The

pocket

is

empty

but

the

spirit

is

wide

Walking

through

the

valley

with

a

quiet

pride

No

silver

spoon,

just

the

dirt

on

my

hands

Trying

to

make

a

living

on

these

broken

lands

Oh,

the

son

of

the

soil,

keeping

on

his

feet

Dancing

to

the

rhythm

of

the

city

street

Chasing

down

a

dream

in

the

morning

light

Through

the

heavy

shadows,

through

the

darkest

night

I’

m

pushing

forward,

though

the

climb

is

steep

I

have

promises

that

I

have

to

keep

Yeah,

I’

m

rising

up,

never

looking

back

Staying

on

the

course,

on

the

narrow

track

Searching

for

a

break,

but

the

doors

are

all

closed

No

one

to

recommend,

no

one

I

know

Taking

on

the

labor

just

to

buy

a

meal

Trying

to

keep

it

steady,

trying

to

keep

it

real

The

pressure

is

heavy,

the

weight

is

on

my

soul

But

I’

m

finding

the

pieces

to

make

me

whole

Sweat

in

the

sunlight,

tired

to

the

bone

Walking

this

journey,

but

never

alone

Oh,

the

son

of

the

soil,

keeping

on

his

feet

Dancing

to

the

rhythm

of

the

city

street

Chasing

down

a

dream

in

the

morning

light

Through

the

heavy

shadows,

through

the

darkest

night

I’

m

pushing

forward,

though

the

climb

is

steep

I

have

promises

that

I

have

to

keep

Yeah,

I’

m

rising

up,

never

looking

back

Staying

on

the

course,

on

the

narrow

track

They

say

give

up,

they

say

stay

down

But

I’

m

wearing

my

struggle

like

a

golden

crown

Every

little

challenge

is

a

lesson

learned

Every

single

penny

that

I

ever

earned

I’

m

standing

tall,

I’

m

standing

strong

This

is

where

I

belong,

this

is

where

I

belong

Oh,

the

son

of

the

soil,

keeping

on

his

feet

Dancing

to

the

rhythm

of

the

city

street

Chasing

down

a

dream

in

the

morning

light

Through

the

heavy

shadows,

through

the

darkest

night

I’

m

pushing

forward,

though

the

climb

is

steep

I

have

promises

that

I

have

to

keep

Yeah,

I’

m

rising

up,

never

looking

back

Staying

on

the

course,

on

the

narrow

track

Never

looking

back

Just

keep

moving

forward

Son

of

the

soil

Keep

on

rising

Keep

on

shining

Yeah,

the

sun

is

gonna

rise

tomorrow

Peace

of

mind

Moving

on
