Lyrics

[male vocals] Rest

in

peace,

Dad,

I’

m

holding

the

light

Even

in

the

middle

of

the

darkest

night (

Mr.

Patrick,

yeah)

It’

s

been

twenty-four

years

since

the

sky

turned

grey

Two-thousand

was

the

year

you

finally

walked

away

I

look

at

my

hands,

I

see

the

lessons

you

planted

Nothing

in

this

life

was

ever

something

you

granted

I

was

just

a

young

man,

trying

to

find

my

way

You

were

the

compass

keeping

the

shadows

at

bay

Mr.

Patrick

Manyonga

Lukumba

Okerech

I

still

hear

your

voice

when

the

world

makes

me

wreck

You

taught

me

to

stand

when

the

tide

gets

too

high

To

look

at

the

storm

and

not

be

afraid

to

cry

Oh,

Papa,

you

were

an

ocean,

deep

and

wide

Where

we

all

could

sip,

finding

a

place

to

hide

You

were

the

pillar,

the

shelter

from

the

rain

Now

I’

m

just

navigating

through

this

heavy

pain

No

one

can

replace

the

treasure

that

you

were

I’

m

holding

on

tight

to

everything,

for

sure

Rest

in

peace,

Dad,

I’

m

holding

the

light

Even

in

the

middle

of

the

darkest

night

People

talk

about

legacy,

they

talk

about

gold

But

they

never

saw

the

stories

that

you

ever

told

You

gave

us

your

spirit,

you

gave

us

your

heart

Now

I’

m

piece-by-piece

trying

to

fix

every

part

You

said

be

a

man,

be

strong

in

the

grind

Keep

your

head

leveled

and

keep

your

peace

of

mind

Lukumba,

your

name

rings

out

in

the

hall

You

caught

us

every

single

time

that

we’

d

fall

I’

m

older

now,

Dad,

I’

m

walking

your

walk

Listening

close

to

the

way

that

you

talk

Oh,

Papa,

you

were

an

ocean,

deep

and

wide

Where

we

all

could

sip,

finding

a

place

to

hide

You

were

the

pillar,

the

shelter

from

the

rain

Now

I’

m

just

navigating

through

this

heavy

pain

No

one

can

replace

the

treasure

that

you

were

I’

m

holding

on

tight

to

everything,

for

sure

Rest

in

peace,

Dad,

I’

m

holding

the

light

Even

in

the

middle

of

the

darkest

night

I

see

your

face

in

the

mirror

when

I

wake

up

I

promise

this

bond

is

one

you

can't

break

up

From

the

year

two-thousand

to

right

here

today

Your

wisdom

is

the

reason

I’

m

okay (

I’

m

okay,

yeah) (

Keep

resting,

Papa)

You

encouraged

me

to

climb,

you

gave

me

the

wings

To

navigate

the

world

and

all

that

it

brings

A

pillar

of

stone,

an

ocean

of

grace

I’

m

forever

looking

for

your

familiar

face

I’

ll

keep

the

fire

burning,

I’

ll

keep

the

flame

I’

ll

never

let

them

forget

the

honor

of

your

name

Mr.

Patrick,

you

were

the

blueprint

for

me

The

strongest

man

that

I

will

ever

see

Oh,

Papa,

you

were

an

ocean,

deep

and

wide

Where

we

all

could

sip,

finding

a

place

to

hide

You

were

the

pillar,

the

shelter

from

the

rain

Now

I’

m

just

navigating

through

this

heavy

pain

No

one

can

replace

the

treasure

that

you

were

I’

m

holding

on

tight

to

everything,

for

sure

Rest

in

peace,

Dad,

I’

m

holding

the

light

Even

in

the

middle

of

the

darkest

night

Yeah,

rest

in

peace

Mr.

Patrick

Manyonga

Lukumba

Okerech

You’

re

still

the

pillar

You’

re

still

the

ocean

I

love

you,

Papa

Always

and

forever (
