inahitaji kuimba mbele ya wanakwaya kila mahali Sing brother sing Imba kaka imba Imba kaka imba Nightingale brother His name is Elijah He's a nightingale His God is still the same A young Nightingale repeats the repertoire he hears As he knows God's name He strikes a pose Sings a song a power verse He can't be wrong he knows his God words Sing those words those songs He's still the same now What if us In whom God We trust What have we denied God forbid Take off that cloak Elijah roll it up- wait for the burst fly away singing joys of praise Shall he be shy, let him sing-sing Let him sing-sing Yahweh is my God So sing forth resonating tweets of Joy Sing for good night peaceful beats Channel versus so sweet so sweet Sweet Elijah Nightingale Needs to sing in front of a choir- everywhere imba Kaka imba Yahweh nah mongo wangu -Elijah Nightingale Repeat those the songs that you hear Praise the Lord with the voice resounding so lovely His name is Elijah and he sings what he hears a lovely Brown brother bronze a male child who cheers He hears his spirit song and he's a nightingale What if he's stilled God forbid Let us hear the background voice What is his choice to sing the songs he hears Hallelujah 2/8/22 Written words by James Edward Lee Sr © 2022 Languages used English and Swahili "from future anthology -Where Are the Villagers"
