[En--via google]
Wait a minute
Breathe slowly
Darkness descends
The heart is still there
Distant voices
Dreams disappear
But in the chest
There is fire
It doesn't turn off
[log drum enters
Still minimal]
I'm tired of crying
I'm tired of counting the pain
But the legs are moving
Quietly
Process
[soft sax riff answering vocal phrases]
And if I remember
What you left me with
Not a ring on the hand
It is strength in the heart
[Verse 1]
A long night
Eyes do not sleep
your name
It goes through the head
I fell
In the shadow hole
But my hand
You held onto hope
[Pre-Chorus]
I thought my last
It was written by you
But this heart
You have written a new chapter
[Chorus]
Ultimate power
It carries me
Even if I get hurt
It lifts me up again
If I fall
I get up slowly
I'm walking
About my injuries
Ultimate power
It carries me
Even without you
I'm moving forward
If I fall
I get up slowly
I'm walking
On my wounds (eh-eh)
[Verse 2]
I lost
Listen
It's not easy
Every corner of the room
It still whispers yesterday
But now
I play alone
The same dress
Another spirit within
[soft jazzy sax fills between lines]
Every step
It's a small battle
Every breath
It is my victory
[Pre-Chorus]
I thought tears
It will kill me slowly
But not even crying
It has been my prayer
[Chorus]
Ultimate power
It carries me
Even if I get hurt
It lifts me up again
If I fall
I get up slowly
I'm walking
About my injuries
Ultimate power
It carries me
Even without you
I'm moving forward
If I fall
I get up slowly
I'm walking
About my injuries
[Bridge]
[pads open up slightly
Shakers and breathing chords]
I can't go back yesterday
But I can stand today
I can't erase the scar
But I can love it
(yeah-yeah)
I sigh
I say
"Heart
Don't give up"
Long shadow
But it will dawn
[Sax Solo]
[sax takes lead over groove
16–24 bars
Call-and-response with distant vocal hums]
[Chorus]
Ultimate power
It carries me
Even if I get hurt
It lifts me up again
If I fall
I get up slowly
I'm walking
About my injuries
Ultimate power
It carries me
Even without you
I'm moving forward
If I fall
I get up slowly
I'm walking
On my wounds (oh yeah)
[Outro]
Ultimate power
It carries me
Quietly
But it carries me
If I fall
I get up again
I'm walking
About my injuries
[log drum and kick slowly strip away
Just pads and faint sax]
Ultimate power
(last night)
It carries me
It carries me

[Intro]
Ngoja kidogo
Pumua polepole
Giza linashuka
Moyo bado uko
Sauti za mbali
Ndoto zikipotea
Lakini kwenye kifua
Kuna moto
Hauzimiki
Nimechoka kulia
Nimechoka kuhesabu maumivu
Lakini miguu inasonga
Kimya kimya
Taratibu
Na nikikumbuka
Kile uliniacha nacho
Sio pete mkononi
Ni nguvu moyoni
[Verse 1]
Usiku mrefu
Macho hayalali
Jina lako
Linapita kichwani
Nilidondoka
Kwenye shimo la kivuli
Lakini mkono wangu
Ulishika tumaini
[Pre-Chorus]
Nilidhani mwisho wangu
Uliandikwa na wewe
Lakini moyo huu
Umeandika sura mpya
[Chorus]
Nguvu ya mwisho
Inanibeba
Hata nikiumia
Inaniinua tena
Nikianguka
Nainuka polepole
Ninatembea
Juu ya majeraha yangu
Nguvu ya mwisho
Inanibeba
Hata bila wewe
Naendelea mbele
Nikianguka
Nainuka polepole
Ninatembea
Juu ya majeraha yangu (eh-eh)
[Verse 2]
Nilipoteza
Sikiliza
Si rahisi
Kila kona ya chumba
Bado inanong'ona jana
Lakini sasa
Nacheza peke yangu
Vazi lile lile
Roho nyingine ndani
Kila hatua
Ni vita ndogo
Kila pumzi
Ni ushindi wangu
[Pre-Chorus]
Nilidhani machozi
Yataniua taratibu
Lakini hata kilio
Kimekuwa sala yangu
[Chorus]
Nguvu ya mwisho
Inanibeba
Hata nikiumia
Inaniinua tena
Nikianguka
Nainuka polepole
Ninatembea
Juu ya majeraha yangu
Nguvu ya mwisho
Inanibeba
Hata bila wewe
Naendelea mbele
Nikianguka
Nainuka polepole
Ninatembea
Juu ya majeraha yangu
[Bridge]
Siwezi kurudi jana
Lakini naweza kusimama leo
Siwezi kufuta kovu
Lakini naweza kulipenda
(yeah-yeah)
Nikihema
Nasema
"Moyo
Usikate tamaa"
Kivuli kirefu
Lakini kutapambazuka
[Chorus]
Nguvu ya mwisho
Inanibeba
Hata nikiumia
Inaniinua tena
Nikianguka
Nainuka polepole
Ninatembea
Juu ya majeraha yangu
Nguvu ya mwisho
Inanibeba
Hata bila wewe
Naendelea mbele
Nikianguka
Nainuka polepole
Ninatembea
Juu ya majeraha yangu (oh yeah)
[Outro]
Nguvu ya mwisho
Inanibeba
Kimya kimya
Lakini inanibeba
Nikianguka
Nainuka tena
Ninatembea
Juu ya majeraha yangu
Nguvu ya mwisho
(ngu-vu ya mwisho)
Inanibeba
Inanibeba

Review of rentry.org
This is also a review of rentry.org. If all you want is a simple page this site is very easy to use, and will be more than adequate. All you need is to use markdown and all your formatting will show. If you are no good with markdown, just make a text file and send it somewhere like chatgpt and ask to convert it to markdown.
Rentry does exactly what it says. All you do is paste or write in your content and then give it a url in the field provided, this one is nguvu and you get a nice short link like https://rentry.org/nguvu -- It's not going to do a full website for you, but then something that does that is was more complicated and a lot of work if all you need is this.
Make sure you copy and keep your edit code which appears at the top of the page. It goes after a while and you need it to edit your page if you ever need to.
They put a fairly big ad at the top of the page. I spose it has to be paid for somehow.
