The Light of Kikongo

Verse 1

Look at the sky

Ondeto

The ultimate spirit of the Creator

Bright sun

Third in the line of the holy three

The son

Olo the Father

Alo the Mother

Perfect family

Standing tall

He lead the Mau Mau through the thick green forest

Brave soul

Kimathi was his right hand

Strong men

Chorus

Ondeto is the sun in the sky

Ondeto is the light for the lost

All Africans come home to the glory

Your light has come

Your light has come

Your light has come

Legio Maria is the way

Legio Maria is the truth

Post-Chorus

Rise up

Rise up

Awake from the sleep

Rise up

Verse 2

He rose

Yie kuon chier

The final awakening is here

No fear

Back to the source of the Nile

Wait there

Akoth is working the soil

The stepmother

Building Kikongo for the children

Stone by stone

The center for the united souls

Bring them home

Pilgrimage for the black nation

Ancient path

Returning to the ancestor Olo

Pure breath

Chorus

Ondeto is the sun in the sky

Ondeto is the light for the lost

All Africans come home to the glory

Your light has come

Your light has come

Your light has come

Legio Maria is the way

From the forest to the mountain

From the river to the sea

From the spirit to the body

Ondeto sets us free

Africa

Africa

Africa

Verse 3

The sun

The fire

The power

The trinity is complete

Walk the road to Kikongo

Deep roots

The soil is red with history

Big tribute

Honor the spirit of the king

Loud voice

Chorus
