[Intro]
(Traditional drumbeat intro, voices humming in harmony building to a chant)
[Verse 1]
When the night was dark
And the cries were hidden
[Chorus]
Oh Ma, the light in our village
You walk with the strength of the river
Fearless heart, hands of kindness
Oh Ma, you are one of us
[Verse 2]
They said the gods would be angry
They said the river would rise
But you held the little ones close
And we saw the truth in your eyes
[Flute Melody]
(A haunting flute melody ascends, symbolizing hope’s emergence)
[Bridge]
Through the storms, through the battles
Through the whispers of doubt
You stayed, you healed, you listened
And we call your name out loud!
[Chorus]
Oh Ma, the light in our village (slow, powerful, voices in unity)
You walk with the strength of the river
Fearless heart, hands of kindness
Oh Ma, you are one of us
[Outro]
(Soft humming resumes, drums gradually fade, leaving echoes of gratitude)
[Final Chant]
You came with the sun
With words soft yet strong
The wind carried your voice
Like a mother calling
Bringing lost children where they belong
(Drums intensify, voices rise in layered harmony before dissolving into silence)
