[Intro]
Soft winds through the dusty road
A boy with a heart of brightening gold
[Verse 1]
Zakaria, child of the village small
Faces the slings, stands tall through it all
Smiles like sunrise on a rainy day
He walks the path that others call gray
Books in his bag, dreams in his eyes
Whispers of faith guiding each sunrise
[Pre-Chorus]
They tease, they doubt, they fling their spite
But hope remains his steadfast light
[Chorus]
Hold on, Zakaria, keep the faith nearby
Strength grows in patience, like the sea’s quiet sigh
With every step, you rise above the noise
God by your side, you shape a brighter choice
[Verse 2]
Lessons learned under stubborn skies
Homework under stars, he never denies
Relentless effort, a quiet roar
Learning the world, knocking on every door
Toward the future, his hands are sure
Trust in kindness, a heart that’s pure
[Pre-Chorus]
Ridicule fades when a vocation shines
Steady steps turn trials into climbs
[Chorus]
Hold on, Zakaria, keep the faith nearby
Strength grows in patience, like the sea’s quiet sigh
With every step, you rise above the noise
God by your side, you shape a brighter choice
[Bridge]
From the dust of the village to the skies of grace
He builds a path with courage and grace
Education as a lantern in the night
Giving back, lifting others toward the light
[Chorus]
Hold on, Zakaria, keep the faith nearby
Strength grows in patience, like the sea’s quiet sigh
With every step, you rise above the noise
God by your side, you shape a brighter choice
[Outro]
Now the seeds you planted bloom and grow
A beacon for the kids who follow slow
Your faith, your work, your gentle guide
A future shared, with hands open wide
