(Yebo, asambe)
Dedicated to the ones who guide us, the foundation of it all.
From the rising of the sun to the evening light
You kept the path clear, you made the future bright
John Malulu, a man of wisdom and grace
A steady hand in this crazy human race
Suzen Malulu, the heart and the soul
You make the broken pieces feel finally whole
I look at your journey and the love you show
You planted the seeds that helped me to grow.
Oh, John and Suzen Malulu, you are my light
Heavenly sent, keeping my spirit so bright
John and Suzen Malulu, my foundation so true
I, Karen Mululu, say thank you to you
(Aweh, let's go)
John and Suzen Malulu, you are my light
Heavenly sent, keeping my spirit so bright
John and Suzen Malulu, my foundation so true
I, Karen Mululu, say thank you to you.
Eish, the sacrifices that you had to make
To ensure that my future would never break
With every prayer and every word that you spoke
You lifted the spirit whenever I broke
Suzen, your kindness is a beautiful song
John, you taught me to stay standing strong
In the township streets or wherever I go
You are the roots that allow me to show.
Oh, John and Suzen Malulu, you are my light
Heavenly sent, keeping my spirit so bright
John and Suzen Malulu, my foundation so true
I, Karen Mululu, say thank you to you
(Sharp sharp, sho)
John and Suzen Malulu, you are my light
Heavenly sent, keeping my spirit so bright
John and Suzen Malulu, my foundation so true
I, Karen Mululu, say thank you to you.
It’s a legacy of love, written in the stars
You healed all the hurt and you mended the scars
No words can measure, no gold can buy
The love that you gave, reaching up to the sky
(Asambe!)
So tonight we celebrate, we dance in the heat
With the log drum thumping underneath our feet
Karen Mululu standing tall in the glow
Of the love that you gave, a constant flow
John, you're the king, Suzen, you're the queen
The greatest blessing that I’ve ever seen
From the bottom of my heart, let the music ring
This is the gratitude that I want to sing.
Oh, John and Suzen Malulu, you are my light
Heavenly sent, keeping my spirit so bright
John and Suzen Malulu, my foundation so true
I, Karen Mululu, say thank you to you
John and Suzen Malulu, you are my light
Heavenly sent, keeping my spirit so bright
John and Suzen Malulu, my foundation so true
I, Karen Mululu, say thank you to you.
Thank you, John.
Thank you, Suzen.
Karen Mululu loves you forever.
Heavenly sent, until the end.
(Sho, sharp sharp.)
