Oh, heaven hear my prayer today
For Mum and Dad, I walk this way
I look to the skies and I seek the light
Living for God with all of my might
Tikambenji Mayuni is the name I bear
With a heart full of hope and a silent prayer
I’m chasing the dreams that are burning inside
With nothing to fear and with nothing to hide
I study the books, I work for the crown
To lift up my parents, not let them down
I’m gonna sprout like a seed in the hard, dry ground
Growing up tall where the wisdom is found
I will make you proud like no man’s business now
To the Almighty God, I’m making this vow
Oh, yeah, make you proud like no man’s business now
At Tamita Christian Academy, I plant my feet
Where the spirit of growth and the destiny meet
Like a mustard seed, I will push through the clay
Becoming a tree in the heat of the day
To provide for the hungry, the seeds for the sower
As my faith in the Lord is growing ever lower
Wait, I mean higher, rising to the sun
Giving thanks to the Father for all that He’s done
I’m gonna sprout like a seed in the hard, dry ground
Growing up tall where the wisdom is found
I will make you proud like no man’s business now
To the Almighty God, I’m making this vow
Oh, yeah, make you proud like no man’s business now
Though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death
I praise His name with my very last breath
In rain and in sunshine, the song stays the same
I keep the fire burning in His holy name
Tulumbe Mayuni, say I do, I do
Mike and Tehila, say I do, I do
Taona, my brother, say I do, I do
My friends in the circle, say I do, I do
Living like a king on this planet of earth
Knowing the value of what I am worth
Obedience is better than sacrifice, they say
So I walk in His footsteps every single day
Tikambenji is rising, watch me as I bloom
Chasing the shadows right out of the room
For Mum and for Dad, I finish the race
With a heart full of love and a soul full of grace
I’m gonna sprout like a seed in the hard, dry ground
Growing up tall where the wisdom is found
I will make you proud like no man’s business now
To the Almighty God, I’m making this vow
Oh, yeah, make you proud like no man’s business now
Jah bless you all, as I walk this path
Safe from the storm and the aftermath
I do, I do, for the family name
I do, I do, I’m staying in the game
Rise up, one love, rise up
Yeah, I do, I do.
