🎤 LYRICS
[INTRO]
Mm...
Asili...
Nze ndi wano...
[VERSE 1]
The dust remembers
Every barefoot dream
Even silent rivers
Carry unseen things
Nnyimiridde
Ku ttaka lino
Every heartbeat
Has somewhere to belong
[PRE]
Don't erase
Where you began
That's where
Your strength still stands
[HOOK]
Asili...
Mpulira
Deep in the ground
Deep in me
Asili...
Njagala
Forward I go
Still I grow
[VERSE 2]
Old hands planted
Trees they'll never see
Still their shadows
Shelter you and me
I don't carry
Chains behind me
Only stories
Teaching me to breathe
[BRIDGE]
Listen...
Roots...
Rain...
Rise...
[FINAL HOOK]
Asili...
Mpulira
Deep in the ground
Deep in me
Asili...
Njagala
Forward I go
Still I grow
[OUTRO]
Asili...
Always...
