Heritage
Echoes of Legacy: Stories in Time
Lyrics
Stories told of long before the stones of old
Refers to stories passed down from ancient times
Decayed, We move on
Despite decay or deterioration, we continue forward
Whispers in the wind that carry words of life
Whispers in the wind convey meaningful messages or wisdom
The thoughts we live on
Our thoughts persist and endure
Women carried calabashes barefooted
Depicts a simpler time when women carried essentials without shoes
Laid in history calls you by name, Today
History remembers and calls upon individuals
By name
Reiteration emphasizing the present moment
Today
-Standing on the shoulders of your grit and grind
We benefit from the hard work and perseverance of those before us
Legacy lives on
The impact of one's legacy continues to exist
Holding hands in circles where you prayed for change
Unity and hope for change are remembered in collective prayers
Memory still strong
Memories remain potent and impactful
Sound of every footstep, Every march and grind
Every action leaves an imprint and resounds
Your voice still echoes
Legacy echoes through the ages
Today, Today (Makubenjalo, Kuze kube phakade)
Repetition emphasizing the perpetual nature of events
Today, Today (Makubenjalo, Lize kushon' ilanga)
-You whisper your hope in those to come
Passing on hope and wisdom to future generations
You are known for trails that lays through skies
Being remembered for forging new paths and breaking barriers
The seas, The streets, The feels
Trails are evident in various aspects of life
Endowed in me in time, Indeed
Being enriched over time with experiences
Warriors are grown in every trial and fold
Strength and resilience are cultivated in challenging times
The fight is still on
The struggle persists
Dancing after every battle lost and won
Celebration and resilience despite victories and losses
The dream still lives on
Hopes and aspirations continue to thrive
Tender words of love and courage calls the soldiers home
Words of comfort and inspiration bring soldiers home
The home they leave, Each day
Leaving home daily for a cause or duty
They go away
Continual departures for a greater purpose
Makubenjalo, Kuze kube phakade
Repeated phrases expressing a wish or hope for eternal continuance
Makubenjalo, Lize kushon' ilanga
-Makubenjalo, Kuze kube phakade
-Makubenjalo, Sibon' izithembiso
Witnessing and holding onto promises or commitments
