The Light of Ondeto

Intro

The lion wakes

The mountain speaks

Zion is here

Verse 1

He is the sun

Ondeto

Giver of life

From the high throne of Olo

And the womb of Alo

Power flows through the valley

Mau Mau blood

Dedan was there

Holding the sword of the spirit

For the crown

Chorus

Legio Maria

Ondeto is the light

Resurrected king

Yie kuon chier

The glory returns

Africa awake

Your time is now

Africa awake

Africa awake

Post-Chorus

Fire burning

Fire burning

Higher

Higher

Verse 2

Mother Akoth

Laying the bricks

Kikongo rising

The center of the soul

Every tribe

Every tongue

Walking the path to the ancestor

Home again

Home again

Black star shining

Through the heavy clouds

Chorus

Legio Maria

Ondeto is the light

Resurrected king

Yie kuon chier

The glory returns

Africa awake

Your time is now

Africa awake

Africa awake

Bridge

Pilgrimage to the holy ground

One heart

One mind

One people

Ancient future

The creator calls us back

Back to the source

Back to the root

Chorus

Legio Maria

Ondeto is the light

Resurrected king

Yie kuon chier

The glory returns

Africa awake

Your time is now

Africa awake

Africa awake

Outro

This is for the elders

Glory to the Mother

Ondeto lives

The light has come
