Ayeh
Mwana wandi ikala panshi
Ikala panshi ikala panshi

Ayeh
Mwana wandi ikala panshi
Ikala panshi ikala panshi

I can see them right beside me
I cannot tell
Why can't I tell?

I can feel them
Right beside me
All through the hell
I cannot fail
Don't give up on me

Ayeh
Mwana wandi ikala panshi
Ikala panshi ikala panshi
Ndi naiwe

Ayeh
Mwana wandi ikala panshi
Ikala panshi ikala panshi
Ndi naiwe

I guess I found my fortune
I don't need home to feel important
But I need a feeling of peace
I'm not broken
Searching but soft spoken
Leaning up to the ether
Wonder if ancestors been living
On through my ugh
My DNA
Been searching for what's inside of me
Physically displaced
And spiritually erased
Unceded space
This is a war about face
Physically sentenced us
Spiritual exodus
Kidnapped
I'm in space
But my own don't recognize voice
Don't know my face
Pace
This is a war about face
Physically sentenced us
Spiritual exodus

Ayeh
Mwana wandi ikala panshi
Ikala panshi ikala panshi
Ndi naiwe

Ayeh
Mwana wandi ikala panshi
Ikala panshi ikala panshi
Ndi naiwe

All the tears I felt
All the pain I felt
To find myself
I found myself again

All the strength I found
Feet are on the ground
They walked this ground again
I walk this ground again

Don't cry again
Don't be afraid
The voice I've found has said
Don't cry again
Don't be afraid

Ayeh
Mwana wandi ikala panshi
Ikala panshi ikala panshi
Ndi naiwe

Ayeh
Mwana wandi ikala panshi
Ikala panshi ikala panshi
Ndi naiwe

Ayeh
Mwana wandi ikala panshi
Ikala panshi ikala panshi
Ndi naiwe

Ayeh
Mwana wandi ikala panshi
Ikala panshi ikala panshi
Ndi naiwe

Ayeh
Mwana wandi ikala panshi
Ikala panshi ikala panshi
Ndi naiwe

Ayeh
Mwana wandi ikala panshi
Ikala panshi ikala panshi
Ndi naiwe

Ayeh
Mwana wandi ikala panshi
Ikala panshi ikala panshi
Ndi naiwe

Ayeh
Mwana wandi ikala panshi
Ikala panshi ikala panshi
Ndi naiwe
