(Chale! Oyiwa!)
Listen to the rhythm of the life we live
Yeah, for the ones who teach, this one is for you
Priscilla, my dear, I know the road is long
Teaching the future, keeping the spirit strong
You upgraded your career, reached for the star
But sometimes the reward doesn't match where you are
I see the frustration, I see the heavy sigh
When the salary doesn't match the standard you apply
It’s not easy, chale, the struggle is real
But your dedication is something they gotta feel
Oh Priscilla, keep your head held high
Even when the clouds cover up your sky
Jehovah sees the seeds that you have sown
You are never walking this path all alone
Happy Teacher’s Day, shine on your way
Better blessings are coming to you today
(Oyiwa! Wonim?)
Education is the light, you hold the lamp
Even when the conditions give you a cramp
You push the students, you give them the best
Ignoring the fatigue, ignoring the rest
It’s a calling, a mission, a noble demand
To build up the children all over the land
But don't be discouraged, don't let it fade
You are a queen for the impact you've made
Oh Priscilla, keep your head held high
Even when the clouds cover up your sky
Jehovah sees the seeds that you have sown
You are never walking this path all alone
Happy Teacher’s Day, shine on your way
Better blessings are coming to you today
(Ei! Chop life!)
Life is a journey, step by step we grow
Trust in the process, let the blessings flow
Your salary might be slow, but your value is high
Don't let the fire in your spirit ever die
So keep on teaching, keep on moving on
Until the dark night turns into the dawn
I see the grace that surrounds your name
Priscilla, you’re playing a different game
(Yoo! Ah ah!)
One day the harvest will surely be wide
With peace and prosperity right by your side
Oh Priscilla, keep your head held high
Even when the clouds cover up your sky
Jehovah sees the seeds that you have sown
You are never walking this path all alone
Happy Teacher’s Day, shine on your way
Better blessings are coming to you today
Yeah, Priscilla, keep shining bright
Jehovah sees you in the morning light
Happy Teacher's Day, my mulamu
Keep going, keep growing, one love
(Chale! Oyiwa!)
