[Intro] Chal,
listen
to
the
story
today
This
one
is
for
my
sister,
the
queen
of
the
classroom
Ei,
Ruth,
oyiwa!
[Verse 1] I
remember
the
days
at
Kamuchanga
school
Your
journey
started
there,
keeping
it
cool
You
have
been
through
a
lot,
the
fire
and
the
rain
But
you
kept
your
head
up,
through
all
of
the
pain
I
visit
you
in
Mufulira,
early
in
the
morning
light
While
the
world
is
sleeping,
you
are
studying
through
the
night
I
asked
myself,
'Can
I
do
it,
can
I
hold
the
spark?'
You
showed
me
how
to
shine,
even
in
the
dark
[Chorus] Oh
Ruth,
you
carry
the
crown,
my
dear
sister
You
deserve
the
glory,
the
joy,
and
the
luster
It’
s
not
by
chance,
the
path
that
you
walk
Your
dedication
speaks
louder
than
any
talk
Oh
Ruth,
my
sister,
you
are
strong
and
true
May
Jehovah
bless
everything
that
you
do
Happy
Teacher’
s
Day,
with
love
in
my
soul
For
the
woman
you
are,
you’
ve
reached
the
goal
[Verse 2] Look
at
the
position
you
are
holding
today
You
earned
every
bit
in
your
own
special
way
From
those
humble
beginnings
to
the
height
where
you
stand
You
are
the
finest
teacher
throughout
the
land
I
see
the
passion
that
flows
in
your
veins
You
break
every
limit,
you
break
every
chains
Eii,
wonim?
You
are
a
star
in
the
sky
Watching
you
grow,
it
makes
me
want
to
fly
[Chorus] Oh
Ruth,
you
carry
the
crown,
my
dear
sister
You
deserve
the
glory,
the
joy,
and
the
luster
It’
s
not
by
chance,
the
path
that
you
walk
Your
dedication
speaks
louder
than
any
talk
Oh
Ruth,
my
sister,
you
are
strong
and
true
May
Jehovah
bless
everything
that
you
do
Happy
Teacher’
s
Day,
with
love
in
my
soul
For
the
woman
you
are,
you’
ve
reached
the
goal
[Bridge] So
receive
this
flower,
it’
s
a
symbol
of
grace
For
the
miles
you
traveled
and
the
challenges
you
face
Eness
loves
you,
we
are
proud
of
your
name
You
lit
up
the
world
with
your
beautiful
flame
Chale,
keep
shining,
keep
rising
so
high
Underneath
the
sun
and
the
bright
blue
sky
[Verse 3] It
is
teachers
like
you
who
build
up
the
nation
Giving
the
children
a
better
foundation
I
am
so
proud
to
call
you
my
own
In
the
seeds
of
wisdom
that
you
have
sown
Yes,
my
sister,
your
heart
is
of
gold
A
story
of
greatness
that’
s
waiting
to
be
told
Chop
life
today,
for
you’
ve
earned
the
rest
Among
all
the
teachers,
you
are
the
best
[Chorus] Oh
Ruth,
you
carry
the
crown,
my
dear
sister
You
deserve
the
glory,
the
joy,
and

luster
It’

the
path
that
you
walk
Your
dedication

louder
than
any

Oh

my
sister,
you
are
strong
and
true
May
Jehovah

everything
that
you
do
Happy
Teacher’
s
Day,
with
love
in
my
soul
For
the
woman
you
are,
you’
ve
reached
the
goal
[Outro] Yeah,
Ruth,
you
carry
the
crown
Oyiwa,
you
deserve
the
best
Happy

s
Day,

dear
We
