[female

Intro] (
Soft,
steady
percussion
building
up)
From
your
favorite
female
teacher
Miss
Nanoh
Oh,
we
gather
here
today
To
speak
on
a
man
of
grace
Mr.
Kamara,
your
light
remains
In
the
rhythm
of
the
city,
in
the
falling
rain
[Verse 1] Early
morning
sun
on
the
school
front
door
Keys
in
the
lock,
just
like
before
You
greeted
every
soul
with
a
humble
word
The
kindest
spirit
that
we
ever
heard
You
built
this
place
with
your
steady
hands
Following
the
rhythm
of
life's
demands
No
matter
the
burden,
you
kept
the
pace
With
a
quiet
smile
upon
your
face
[Chorus] Oh,
Mr.
Kamara,
the
journey
is
long
But
your
memory
lives
in
our
favorite
song
Rest
now,
sleep
in
the
velvet
night
You
led
the
way
with
your
guiding
light
We
remember
the
laughter,
we
remember
the
pride,
we
remember
the
love
With
the
spirit
of
a
lion
deep
inside
[Verse 2] I
see
your
face
by
the
window
pane
Looking
out
at
the
school
compound
through
the
window
rain
You
taught
us
patience,
you
taught
us
style
You
went
the
extra
mile,
every
single
while
The
shelves
are
stocked
but
the
room
feels
still
We
miss
the
strength
of
your
iron
will
But
roots
run
deep
in
the
ground
you
paved
For
all
the
futures
that
you
helped
us
save
[Chorus] Oh,
Mr.
Kamara,
the
journey
is
long
But
your
memory
lives
in
our
favorite
song
Rest
now,
sleep
in
the
velvet
night
You
led
the
way
with
your
guiding
light
We
remember
the
laughter,
we
remember
the
pride,
we
remember
the
love
With
the
spirit
of
a
lion
deep
inside
[Bridge] It’
s
not
a
goodbye,
it’
s
a
soul
set
free
Floating
out
to
the
deep,
deep
sea
The
legacy
grows
like
a
tree
in
bloom
Filling
up
every
corner
of
this
room
We
carry
the
torch
that
you
lit
so
bright
Shining
through
the
dark,
shining
through
the
night
[Verse 3] So
keep
the
beat
steady,
keep
the
vision
clear
Your
voice
is
the
one
that
we
always
hear
In
the
hustle
and
bustle,
in
the
quiet
time
Your
life
is
the
reason,
your
life
is
the
rhyme
We
raise
a
glass
to
the
work
you
done
Under
the
setting
and
the
rising
sun
Go
on
ahead,
take
your
well-earned
rest
Of
all
the
proprietors
and
principals
you
were
the
best
[Chorus] Oh,
Mr.
Kamara,
the
journey
is
long
But
your
memory
lives
in
our
favorite
song
Rest
now,
sleep
in
the
velvet
night
You
led
the
way
with
your
guiding
light
We
remember
the
laughter,
we
remember
the
pride,
we
remember
the
love
With
the
spirit
of
a
lion
deep
inside
[Outro] Rest
in
peace,
Mr.
Solomon
Gbassay
Kamara
We
love
you
but
God
loves
you
most
We
pray
that
you
rest
in
the
mercy
of
the
Lord
Almighty
Your
legacy
stays
with
us
Day
by
day,
step
by
step
In
the
rhythm
of
the
life
you
gave
