Ancestors of Mine
cncestors of Mine
Lyrics by Yôlee
Welcome home Yôlee
What's the first note or melody that comes to you,
When you think of your ancestors?
Mother of mine
Reflecting light
Her silent power
Makes things right
Strength in worship
Victory divine
Radiant beauty
This mother of mine
Grandma of mine
Leading the way
Helping others
Day by day
Truth and grace
cll the time
High ideals
This grandma of mine
Grandma of mine
Larger than life
Raised nine kids
Her husband died
Not ruled by anger
Took all in stride
Greatly desired
This grandma of mine
cncestors of mine
Strengthen me, day by day
Courage and grace
On display
cllowing peace
To pave the way
Towards our freedom
It's our day
To you mothers, grandmothers, godmothers, aunts, and the village community
Strong women I come from
cncestors of mine
