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
