Through
the
fire
and
the
rain,
I
know
you're
there (
Grrt,
bow)
Never
left
my
side,
even
when
the
world
got
cold
Check
it
[Verse 1] Things
got
heavy,
yeah
the
burden
was
a
mountain
high
Felt
like
the
ceiling
was
collapsing
on
my
inner
eye
They
said
I
wouldn't
make
it,
told
me
I
was
done
for
sure
But
I
kept
knocking
on
the
heavens,
kept
hitting
the
door
Darkness
tried
to
creep
in,
trying
to
steal
my
focus
deep
But
in
the
valley
of
the
shadow,
watch
the
promises
I
keep
I
looked
up
at
the
sky,
whispered
prayers
in
the
night
When
the
road
was
pitch
black,
you
were
the
only
light
Yeah,
you
held
me
down,
kept
me
focused
on
the
plan
Even
when
I
slipped,
you
were
reaching
for
my
hand
[Chorus] 'Cause
Mwelesa
wandi,
you
never
drift
away
You
by
my
side
when
the
clouds
turn
gray
Things
got
tough,
yeah
the
pressure
getting
real
But
you're
the
only
source
that
can
help
me
heal
Always
beside
me,
yeah
you
stay
right
there
Taking
all
the
weight,
answering
every
prayer
Mwelesa
wandi,
my
rock
in
the
storm
Keep
me
protected,
keep
me
safe
and
warm
[Verse 2] Look,
the
streets
talk,
but
your
spirit
talks
louder
I
was
running
on
empty,
now
I’
m
moving
with
the
power
I
remember
nights
crying,
tears
hitting
the
floor
Wondering
if
I
could
take
a
little
bit
more
But
the
grace
was
sufficient,
the
love
was
divine
I
turned
a
new
leaf,
now
I’
m
standing
in
the
line
They
want
to
see
me
fold,
but
the
foundation
is
solid
Building
up
my
spirit,
yeah
I’
m
chasing
all
the
profit
Not
the
money,
but
the
peace
that
you
give
to
my
soul
Knowing
you're
the
captain,
yeah
you’
re
in
full
control
[Chorus] 'Cause
Mwelesa
wandi,
you
never
drift
away
You
by
my
side
when
the
clouds
turn
gray
Things
got
tough,
yeah
the
pressure
getting
real
But
you're
the
only
source
that
can
help
me
heal
Always
beside
me,
yeah
you
stay
right
there
Taking
all
the
weight,
answering
every
prayer
Mwelesa
wandi,
my
rock
in
the
storm
Keep
me
protected,
keep
me
safe
and
warm
[Bridge] Soaring
to
the
heights,
yeah
I
leave
it
all
behind
Focus
on
the
light,
yeah
I’
m
clearing
out
my
mind
No
more
looking
back,
no
more
living
in
the
fear
Because
I
know
my
Father,
yeah
he’
s
always
standing
near (
Always
standing
near) (
Yeah,
he's
always
here)
[Verse 3] It’
s
a
new
day,
looking
at
the
future
with
a
vision
Every
single
step,
yeah
it’
s
fueled
by
the
mission
You
guided
my
feet
when
I
couldn't
find
the
way
I’
m
grateful
for
the
light
that
you
bring
every
day
No
weapon
formed,
yeah
it’
s
bound
to
fall
short
Nimwe
lesa
mundwila
inkondo
shose
amakayandi
nimwe
lesa
I
made
it
through
the
struggle,
I
made
it
through
the
strife
You’
re
the
main
reason
for
the
breath
inside
my
life
[Chorus] 'Cause
Mwelesa
wandi,
you
never
drift
away
You
by
my
side
when
the
clouds
turn
gray
Things
got
tough,
yeah
the
pressure
getting
real
But
you're
the
only
source
that
can
help
me
heal
Always
beside
me,
yeah
you
stay
right
there
Taking
all
the
weight,
answering
every
prayer
Mwelesa
wandi,
my
rock
in
the
storm
Keep
me
protected,
keep
me
safe
and
warm
[Outro] Yeah
Always
beside
me
Through
the
ups,
through
the
downs
Never
left
me
hanging
My
provider,
my
strength (
Yeah)
We
keep
moving (
Grrt,
bow)
Blessings,
man
Always
