[male vocals] Oh,
Gilbert
Ilunga,
I
hear
your
name
in
the
wind
Thirty-seven
years,
yet
the
memory
remains
Thirty-seven
years
since
you
walked
away
I
never
knew
your
touch,
never
heard
you
pray
They
say
a
father
is
a
guiding
star
in
the
night
But
I
walked
this
path
without
your
morning
light
I
sit
in
the
quiet,
I
wonder
how
it
would
be
If
you
were
standing
here,
right
here
next
to
me
Things
would
be
different,
the
road
less
steep
But
some
promises
are
ones
the
angels
keep
Oh,
Gilbert
Ilunga,
I
miss
the
memory
of
your
hand
Though
I
never
knew
you,
I
try
to
understand
Your
shadow
is
a
weight,
your
absence
a
song
But
I
am
moving
forward,
I
am
staying
strong
Chale,
life
is
a
mystery,
a
path
we
must
tread
Remembering
the
living
and
honoring
the
dead
But
God
is
faithful,
He
gave
me
a
queen
The
finest
mother
that
I
have
ever
seen
Annie
Sondashi
Kalilele,
you
held
the
line
You
poured
out
your
soul
just
to
make
me
shine
You
taught
me
to
make
peace
with
everyone
I
meet
To
walk
with
kindness
in
the
middle
of
the
street
Your
counsel
is
the
map
that
steered
my
heart
You
were
the
glue
when
my
world
fell
apart
Oh,
Gilbert
Ilunga,
I
miss
the
memory
of
your
hand
Though
I
never
knew
you,
I
try
to
understand
Your
shadow
is
a
weight,
your
absence
a
song
But
I
am
moving
forward,
I
am
staying
strong
Chale,
life
is
a
mystery,
a
path
we
must
tread
Remembering
the
living
and
honoring
the
dead
Sometimes
I
am
weak,
sometimes
the
tears
descend
When
I
think
of
the
father
who
never
saw
the
end
But
I
work
hard,
I
push,
I
climb
every
hill
Because
of
the
lessons
that
you
gave
me
still
Thank
you
for
the
life,
thank
you
for
the
blood
Rising
above
the
sorrow
like
a
cleansing
flood
Annie,
my
mother,
you
are
my
solid
rock
At
every
door
you
opened,
you
picked
every
lock
Because
of
your
love,
I
have
never
been
alone
Building
a
future,
building
my
own
home
Gilbert,
I
love
you,
wherever
you
may
be
Your
spirit
is
the
fruit
on
the
branches
of
my
tree
I
thank
God
for
the
strength,
I
thank
God
for
the
way
I
am
the
man
you
made
me,
even
from
far
away
Oh,
Gilbert
Ilunga,
I
miss
the
memory
of
your
hand
Though
I
never
knew
you,
I
try
to
understand
Your
shadow
is
a
weight,
your
absence
a
song
But
I
am
moving
forward,
I
am
staying
strong
Chale,
life
is
a
mystery,
a
path
we
must
tread
Remembering
the
living
and
honoring
the
dead
Thirty-seven
years,
but
I’
m
still
standing
tall
Thank
you
Mum,
thank
you
Dad,
I
heard
the
call
Oyiwa,
rest
now,
your
legacy
is
secure
With
love
that
is
steady,
with
love
that
is
pure
Chale,
eii,
keep
watching
over
me.
