(Ayy, mola!)
Yeah, watch the journey, watch the spark
Philip in the light, no more living in the dark
(Wesh, let's go!)
Philip, look at the path you chose today
The child of yesterday has found a brand new way
From the childhood bushes to the electric wire
Life took you higher, you set the world on fire
You chased the ball across the dusty ground
Now you’re chasing solutions, see what you have found
Through the twists and the turns, the struggle and the pain
But the Lord kept you steady through the sun and the rain
Oh Philip, you’re the master of the spark
Turning on the lights, shining in the dark
From the school in Batchi, building up your name
Everything you touch, you make it look like game
(Nyanga!)
I remember Polyvalent of Batchi days
Common core of skills, hidden in the maze
Masonry, mechanics, choices on the line
But the electrical room made the future shine
The teacher stood tall in his white coat vest
Said "Take your tester tool, put it to the test"
"Check the points, tighten up the screw"
"Five hundred thousand francs waiting there for you!"
Oh Philip, you’re the master of the spark
Turning on the lights, shining in the dark
From the school in Batchi, building up your name
Everything you touch, you make it look like game
(Eish!)
I opened my eyes, the vision became clear
"This is my domain!" I shouted without fear
That’s the spark I need, that’s the path I take
Changing every life, for the future's sake
(On dit quoi!)
Yeah, keep on shining, mola
From Batchi to the world, you’re the controller
Philip, you the man, yeah you got the power
Watch him glow, watch him glow, hour by hour
(Ayy! Ndem!)
Yeah, we rise.
