How Are You, My Friend

[Intro] Hello to you, my friend, across the miles we send a spark From chipuna to Banda, Mwenda and charity in the heart [Verse 1] How are you today, my friend, I hope your light is bright We share these small moments, turning strangers into light [Pre-Chorus] Together we rise, with every hello we mend From distant rooftops to kindred voices, around the bend [Chorus] How are you, my friend, I’m here with open hands Like letters in a bottle cast to shifting sands How are you, my friend, may laughter be your guide We walk this road beside you, with warmth on every side [Verse 2] Alexander smiles through the miles, Banda echoes in the air Mwendalubi and charity weave kindness everywhere [Pre-Chorus] We keep the bridge alive, with every shared refrain A chorus of good intention flowing through the rain [Chorus] How are you, my friend, I’m here with open hands Like letters in a bottle cast to shifting sands How are you, my friend, may laughter be your guide We walk this road beside you, with warmth on every side [Bridge] If one heart falters, another lends its light If shadows fall, we stand together through the night [Chorus] How are you, my friend, I’m here with open hands Like letters in a bottle cast to shifting sands How are you, my friend, may laughter be your guide We walk this road beside you, with warmth on every side [Outro] Until we meet again, in every smile we share Know you’re remembered kindly, and always truly there
