[Verse 1]
Out on the road before the sun's awake,
Dust on his boots, there's a trail to take.
With a notebook in hand, and a weary smile,
He’s been walking these halls for miles and miles.
[Chorus]
Thomas Kambaiye, the schools know your name,
Through the chalkboard dust and the windowpane.
Checking the lessons, the roofs, the light,
Making sure dreams are burning bright.
[Verse 2]
He knows every creak in the classroom floor,
Every broken desk, every squeaky door.
He sees the hunger in a child’s gaze,
And fights for their future, through endless days.
[Prechorus]
He’s the voice they hear when the system’s cold,
A heart of fire, a soul of gold.
[Chorus]
Thomas Kambaiye, the schools know your name,
Through the chalkboard dust and the windowpane.
Checking the lessons, the roofs, the light,
Making sure dreams are burning bright.
[Bridge]
He’s not in the papers, no medals to show,
But the seeds he’s planted, they’ll grow and grow.
In the laughter of children, in their hopeful eyes,
Thomas Kambaiye’s legacy never dies.
