There shall be showers of blessings!

There shall be showers of blessings...

Showers of blessings from hearts that we meet

There will be moments we will be mad at each other

But the memories we create will surpass all the storms we have faced....

To our dearest, Charles Lwande

Every thought of you is warm like the beautiful sun at noon

We marched in to sing our hearts out,

We marched in to

Piss off the neighbors, win the drink - with a shout

With the eating, and the folly, and the fun --
And the lying, and the lusting, and the drink, of the gods
and the dance that we drop to- when we're done,

to the thoughts that burn us like irons

And bars we killed like lions

We were bonded; as if the same blood ran through our veins

We were bonded

And I tell you, that you blazed fire

With your guitar, young man...

when you stepped on the stage, 

when you opened your mouth

It was all showers of blessings
every stolen feeling of diamonds, platinum and gold

Every chord, every word, every note
poured out of your mouth in passion and song

fine boy no pimples… you were so bright

Be it song, be it bars, be it how you played with the strings

Showers... showers of blessings

And it was never about the pay – it was something else

Had the crowd roaring in the warmth of your palms

And damn! you loved it!!!

 There was something about you, cee

There was something about your energy and your drive

You were too good – and we

we were scared to let you down

We fed endlessly on your energy

I ain't saying this as an artist who knew you – am saying this a friend who did

and being my brothers best friend... am saying this as sister

'They say energy cannot be destroyed – it is shifted, transferred and renewed'

So from time to time... when we see you, when we feel you

its all showers of blessings!

For you cee it still is too strong!

 So Rain, rain my friend – rain

Move with the restless winds
And sing in the morning breeze

Travel everywhere, around this world in a storm

Blow past us once in a while – and lets busk in the memories we that shared

I will call them, showers of blessings

Thank you - my friend – for warming my life with your presence

I do not take it for granted am blessed I met you

Now charm the sky with your smile

And warm our nights with the twinkle of a star

Keep on shining,  keep on blazing

Keep on blazing fire

There shall be showers of blessings...

Showers of blessings from hearts that we meet

There will be moments we will be mad at each other

But the memories that we make will surpass all the storms that we faced....

Till we meet again
