🎤 LYRICS
(Couplet 1)
Nilikuwa chini, uliniinua
Ulikuwa karibu, nilipopotea
Sio kwa maneno bali kwa matendo
Rafiki wa kweli, unashikilia moyo
(Refrain)
Rafiki wa kweli, hauachi mikono
Katika dhoruba au katika amani
Upo pale, kama kivuli jua likiwaka
Sauti ya moyo, ni wewe rafiki yangu
(Couplet 2)
Sikutafuta kwa mali au hadhi
Nilipokosa, ulikuwa pale
Kila kicheko chako ni nguvu kwangu
Pamoja tuwe, hadi mwisho wa safari
(Refrain)
Rafiki wa kweli, hauachi mikono
Katika dhoruba au katika amani
Upo pale, kama kivuli jua likiwaka
Sauti ya moyo, ni wewe rafiki yangu
(Outro)
Usiku na mchana, najua uko karibu
Asante kwa kuwa wangu
