Sing brother sing
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
