(Soft acoustic guitar pluck)
Mwansa, listen to me
This one is for the work you do
Every single morning, you rise
For the little ones, for the future
Yeah
Early morning light, the sun just waking up
You’re already standing, filling up your cup
Teaching all the young ones, guiding every step
Even when the road is hard, you never once have wept
These little ones of Jayz, they’re lucky that you’re there
Giving all your energy, showing all the care
I know the burden's heavy, sometimes it feels like stone
But look up to the sky, you’re never here alone
Happy Teacher's Day, my Mwansa, you’re the star
Even when the distance feels like it is so far
Jehovah sees the labor, he sees the sweat you pour
He’s opening the windows, he’s unlocking every door
Wear your crown with pride, you’ve earned it every day
Let the world see the light that shows the better way
It’s not an easy task, molding every mind
Leaving all the worry and the trouble far behind
You wake up with a purpose, you wake up with a drive
Keeping all the dreams of the future now alive
And though the city's loud, and the days are getting long
Inside your heart, Mwansa, you hold a steady song
I see you moving forward, I see you standing tall
Whenever you might stumble, you’ll never really fall
Happy Teacher's Day, my Mwansa, you’re the star
Even when the distance feels like it is so far
Jehovah sees the labor, he sees the sweat you pour
He’s opening the windows, he’s unlocking every door
Wear your crown with pride, you’ve earned it every day
Let the world see the light that shows the better way
Receive these flowers now, from your mother Lusanso
Deepest love for you, let the heavy feelings go
You’re doing great things, more than you could know
Just let your inner spirit continue to glow
Happy Teacher's Day, my Mwansa, you’re the star
Even when the distance feels like it is so far
Jehovah sees the labor, he sees the sweat you pour
He’s opening the windows, he’s unlocking every door
Wear your crown with pride, you’ve earned it every day
Let the world see the light that shows the better way
Yeah, you deserve the crown
From Lusaka to the world
We see you, Mwansa
Keep shining, keep teaching
Happy Teacher's Day
