Hey There Captain

[Intro]

[Chorus]

Hey there, Captain,

You’re showing Burkina Faso the way

My heart, it smiles—sunrise in my day

That’s just my style—Captain of love, leading with kindness

You shine from inside, beauty you can’t hide

Do you wanna go for a ride?

I see you making changes, moving with the tide

Everywhere you go, you lift the people high

On the other side of the world

Your light shines, like no other

Beacon for the free,

You’re walking in your destiny

[Verse 1]

They say you have no experience,

But you’ve lived the story, felt the evidence

Corruption touched your sacred land,

You’ve known the ache, the heavy hand

Your heart’s been drained, still you remain

I feel your heart, though we’re oceans apart

I see you, I know you,

Your heart’s like mine, a rare find, it’s true

You carry the scars, but you walk with pride

A soul on a mission, can’t run, can’t hide

Every step you take, you break the chain

Turning struggle into wisdom, loss into gain

[Pre-Chorus]

Hey, Captain,

You are protected, not just by your tribe

But also by mine,

I see you across the world,

Your light shines like a beacon for the free

Keep leading,

Keep justice on your tongue

The ancient mother’s awakened,

She calls for the return of her land

[Chorus]

Hey there, Captain,

You’re showing Burkina Faso the way

My heart, it smiles—sunrise in my day

That’s just my style—Captain of love, leading with kindness

You shine from inside, beauty you can’t hide

Do you wanna go for a ride?

I see you making changes, moving with the tide

Everywhere you go, you lift the people high

On the other side of the world

Your light shines, like no other

Beacon for the free,

You’re walking in your destiny

[Bridge]

No more rape, no more escape

Stop the madness, it’s time to unite

We are enough—hearts of gold, bold in the fight

Our love outweighs those who sold their souls

It’s the light against the dark

We hold enough light to tip the scales

Lion King, stand strong,

You are where you belong

Lead from your soul,

Never let your heart grow cold

[Rap/Breakdown]

So many frenemies, knives in the night

But you see through the shadows, you walk in the light

Wolves in disguise, but you’re wise,

Eyes wide open, mind sharp as the sunrise

You’re protected, no matter their schemes

Your heart’s too pure, you live your dreams

Your love for humanity is the cure

Storms may rage, but you endure

Even when the night is long,

Your courage is a song

Children of the sun are watching, learning to rise

You teach them to be fearless, with wisdom in your eyes

[Chorus / Outro]

Hey there, Captain,

You’re showing Burkina Faso the way

My heart, it smiles—sunrise in my day

That’s just my style—Captain of love, leading with kindness

You shine from inside, beauty you can’t hide

Do you wanna go for a ride?

I see you making changes, moving with the tide

Everywhere you go, you lift the people high

On the other side of the world

Your light shines, like no other

Beacon for the free,
