Every day I wake up, I'm counting blessings, Nkhuwonga Chiuta chifukwa cha umoyo... Let's go!
Hook
I'm thankful every day, nkhupemphera and I pray,
Chiuta made a way, so I won't ever stray,
Through the struggle and the pain, blessings falling like rain,
DATCH on the beat, giving glory again.
I'm grateful for the light, wakaŵa guide through the night,
When I thought I'd lose the fight, wakaŵika vinthu right,
Now my future looking bright, heart and vision locked tight,
Nkhuwonga Chiuta wane, chifukwa chose chikwendeska bwino alright.
Verse 1
Back in the days when the road was cold, nkhasuzgikanga but I stayed bold,
Dreams in my mind and a story untold, Chiuta wakanikora so I wouldn't fold,
Many people doubted me, saying my future was sold,
Now I'm standing on my feet with a testimony worth more than gold.
Nkhenda mu mdima but I found the light,
Enemies talked but I kept my sight,
Chiuta wakaŵa na ine every night,
Now I'm soaring so high like an eagle in flight.
Every setback became a lesson to learn,
Every bridge I crossed made my passion burn,
Nkhawona lusungu Lwake at every turn,
Now it's my season, watch the tables turn.

Verse 2
Every blessing that I get, I can never forget,
Chiuta wandifiska far, more levels to get,
Pressure came hard but I answered with sweat,
Now the harvest is here, all the seeds have been met.
Nkhuwuka na mphamvu, new day new chance,
Faith in my heart got me leading the dance,
From the struggle to success, look at how I advance,
Chiuta ndiyo reason, every win and every glance.
From Rumphi to Lilongwe let the message be known,
You can start from the bottom and still build a throne,
Keep your faith alive even when you're alone,
Because the seeds that you water will eventually be grown.

When I look around, nkhuwona vitumbiko vinandi,
Every step that I take, Chiuta wakunilongora nthowa yiwemi,
I lift my hands high and say thank You sincerely,
For the mercy and the grace that follows me daily.
Rain came down but my faith stayed strong,
Nkhaluta panthazi singing this song,
When the road got tough, Chiuta proved them wrong,
Now my testimony grows and grows lifelong.
