(rhythm kicks in, steady bassline, skanking guitar)
Yeah, yeah
Jah guidance, every step of the way
This one is for you, my queen
Angela Chilufya, you are the rock
Albert Maa'tee, giving thanks
Ubu ubuushiku, this day is heaven-sent
The most important time, all my energy is spent
Angela Chilufya, my God-given wife
You brought the light and the beauty to my life
I remember when we met, we were young and so free
Just a simple vibration between you and me
But look at us now, the people call me Papa Isaac
Blessed with a journey, never looking back
Oh, my Angela, you are my morning sun
Together in Jah’s light, the two are truly one
I pray to the Almighty to guide and protect our way
To see our grandkids running out to play
Yes, we keep on rising, through the joy and the strife
Giving thanks to Jah for my beautiful wife
I sit down in the cabin, miles away from home
Driving the heavy truck, wherever I roam
It’s by the will of Jah that I move across the land
From Tanzania to Namibia, guided by His hand
In the Congo too, it’s my usual place
But I’m always searching for the smile on your face
I know the work is hard, the road is long and wide
But remember where we came from, Jah is by our side
Oh, my Angela, you are my morning sun
Together in Jah’s light, the two are truly one
I pray to the Almighty to guide and protect our way
To see our grandkids running out to play
Yes, we keep on rising, through the joy and the strife
Giving thanks to Jah for my beautiful wife
And my love, I must say, I am truly sorry
For the disappointments, for the weight of the worry
Knowing and unknowingly, I’ve caused you some pain
But I’m striving to be better, like the earth needs the rain
I will be a better husband, I will stand tall and true
Every single mile that I drive is for you
Much respect to Nuuda Mike and Mr. Sichoone too
For opening the doors, for the work that they do
I’m an international driver, moving through the night
Big up Rasta Stivo Lubinda, keeping the vision bright
He believed in me when the road was obscure
Now the blessings are many and the love is so pure
Let your prayers reach me, wherever I go
You are the rhythm of the life that I know
Oh, my Angela, you are my morning sun
Together in Jah’s light, the two are truly one
I pray to the Almighty to guide and protect our way
To see our grandkids running out to play
Yes, we keep on rising, through the joy and the strife
Giving thanks to Jah for my beautiful wife
Yeah, Jah bless you, my queen
From the Congo to the coast, you are the one
Angela, my heart
Papa Isaac is coming home to you
