Yoh, Lesa, hear my prayer today
Hear my cry, oh Mulungu
Ayy
my name is Patrick Hangoma
I wake up early in the morning, looking at the street
Nothing in my pockets, nothing for the family to eat
My mother is waiting, she is looking at my hands
Mayo is praying, hoping I can stand
Make a way for me, oh Baba
Dear God, bless me with a job, make my way clear
Bless the work of my hands, wipe away every tear
So I can help my family, lift them from the floor
Lesa bless me, open up the door!
No more boza, no more suffering inside
I want to work hard with my family by my side
From Lusaka to the mumbwa, let the blessing flow
When You open up the door, everyone will know
Dear God, bless me with a job, make my way clear
Bless the work of my hands, wipe away every tear
So I can help my family, lift them from the floor
Lesa bless me, open up the door!
Natotela, Lesa
I believe it's done
Ayy, yoh
