Yeah, listen close
Just take your time, Bwalya
Bwalya Kapekele, wipe those tears from your eyes
I know the road is long, reaching for those open skies
But don't cry, mwana, things take time to bloom
Keep your heart steady, chase away the gloom
I see you working hard, yeah I see the fire inside
Nowhere to run, there’s nowhere left to hide
Oh Bwalya, your day is coming soon
Like the rising sun after the darkest moon
Keep your head up high, let the music play
Bwalya, keep the faith, you’re gonna make it one day
Yeah, you’re gonna make it, baby
We’re moving through the cities, from Dar es Salaam nights
To the streets of Namibia, chasing all the lights
Through Congo and Zambia, keeping it real and true
The rhythm of the journey is living inside of you
Just thank the Lord for every breath you take
Even when the pressure feels like it’s gonna break
Oh Bwalya, your day is coming soon
Like the rising sun after the darkest moon
Keep your head up high, let the music play
Bwalya, keep the faith, you’re gonna make it one day
I need you to believe, mmm
It’s a long road, yeah, the path is never straight
But destiny is calling, don't you hesitate
Your soul has a melody, your spirit has a sound
Soon enough, Bwalya, you’ll be wearing the crown
Yeah, you'll reach the top, baby
So keep the vision clear, keep your focus on the prize
Ignore the doubters and the cold, empty lies
You’re built for the stage, you’re built for the dream
Stronger than the river, deeper than the stream
Just keep on singing, keep pushing through the pain
Sunshine is coming after all the heavy rain
Oh Bwalya, your day is coming soon
Like the rising sun after the darkest moon
Keep your head up high, let the music play
Bwalya, keep the faith, you’re gonna make it one day
Oh, you're gonna make it, I know you will
Yeah, keep the faith, Bwalya
One day, it’s all gonna be yours
Just take it step by step
I need you to stay strong, baby
Yeah, one day.
