[Intro – soft, spoken]
Yeah…
This one’s for Manu and Paeru…
A love that brought a family together…
[Verse 1]
I seen your love grow, piece by piece
Through every storm, you found your peace
Wasn’t always easy, wasn’t always clear
But you held on, kept God near
Now you standing here, side by side
With something real you just can’t hide
This ain’t just love, this deeper than that
It’s every moment that brought you back
[Pre-Chorus]
And if the world ever gets too heavy
Don’t you worry, you got me
[Chorus]
We gon’ hold it down, yeah, for life
Through every tear, through every fight
When the nights get long and the road feels tough
You got a family full of love
We gon’ hold it down, never fold
Through every season, young to old
And every blessing that came from you
We thank God for the life you grew
[Verse 2 – extended, each child honoured
Josephine, you came as a light so bright
A love already written in your daddy’s life
And Paeru, you held her like your own from the start Didn’t just accept her—you gave her your heart
Tyrone, you carry a strength so deep
The kind that stands when the world don’t sleep
There’s a quiet power in the way you move
A reflection of the love that’s raising you
Manta, your laughter fills every space
You bring a joy no one can replace
In every smile, in every sound
You turn a house into holy ground
KJ, you got that spark, that fire inside
A shining light you just can’t hide
The way you love, the way you shine
You remind us all that God’s design is divine
Roman, your heart is steady and true
There’s something strong being built in you
A gentle spirit, but bold and wise
You carry a future we can already recognize
Mama, your love runs deep and wide
A constant warmth you just can’t hide
In everything you are and do
There’s a piece of them living in you
Different journeys, different starts
But now one family, one heartbeat, one heart
What was separate
[Pre-Chorus]
And when you feel like you might break
We right here, don’t hesitate
[Chorus – fuller]
We gon’ hold it down, yeah, for life
Through every tear, through every fight
When the nights get long and the road feels tough
You got a family full of love
We gon’ hold it down, never fold
Through every season, young to old
And every blessing that came from you
We thank God for the life you grew
[Bridge – emotional, stripped back]
This kinda love don’t fade away
It get stronger every day
What was separate, now made whole
One heartbeat, one soul
And when the weight feels hard to bear
Just remember—we right there
This ain’t just love, it’s something more
A family worth fighting for
[Final Chorus – big, powerful]
We gon’ hold it down, Manu and Paeru
This kinda love so rare, so true
When the world don’t feel the same
You got a home in our name
We gon’ hold it down, through it all
When you weak, we stand tall
And for the children, your greatest light
We thank you both for this life
[Outro – soft, heartfelt]
Yeah…
Love made a way…
And we’re all here because of it…
Forever starts now…
