So Be It (Acoustic Version)

I went on a journey, eh
I returned to the village, eh
I left the village with nothing, I returned with wealth, look up to the sky
The drums beat, people clap their hands, joy fills the air, I went on a journey, eeeh yeye
I returned to the village, eh, I left the village with nothing, I returned with wealth, look up to the sky
The drums beat, people clap their hands, news of a birth in the Shungu family, eh eeeeeh
I rushed to see the child, a baby boy, raising his hands, a sign of a brave soldier, the work my father did, aah
Father, you left me in a dream, I don't have a name to give the child
Father eeeh father yo yo yo yo
I will even give him your name
Father eeh your spirit is strong
Your name will remain forever, eeh
So be it
Give thanks to God, eeeeh for your birth
Be calm, grow up well, your parents, eh, for your upbringing
Blessings from your father and mother and God
Ee in your life, may your path always be clear
Blessings from your father and mother and God, oh ee in your life, may your path be without thorns
Whoever digs a pit, God will bury him in it, ee
A tree in my yard, a tree that sprouted from another yard, e
That tree, its name is Shungu Shungu ee
Whoever digs a pit, God will bury him in it, ee
A seed in my yard, a tree that sprouted from another yard, e, that tree, its name is Shungu Melvin ee, there's no difference ee
I am a person from your family, the backbone of the royal family, your mother and her siblings
They walk together, oooo
Father ee father yo yo yo yo hmmm the child will grow up, e
Mother ye ye mother, turn around and see how Junior has grown, e
Father ee father, I am overwhelmed hmm the child has grown, e
Mother ee mother, turn around and see how Junior has become, e
So be it, give thanks to God, eeeeh for your birth
Be calm, grow up well, your parents, eh, for your upbringing
May your heart be filled with wisdom and obedience, e, that you may bring joy within the family, e
May your heart be filled with wisdom and obedience, oah, that you may bring joy within the family
Child, put your hand on your stomach, ye ye, but don't be tempted to put it in your mouth, e
Child, put your hand on your stomach, ye ye ye
But don't be tempted to put it in your mouth
So be it, let it be so
Just like that, just like that, just like that
