[Verse 1]
Habiba left with two little hands
Me and my sister, by her side
From Ethiopia to a harder land
She carried hope like bread inside
No map, no easy road
Just one brave heart and tired feet
She kept her face to the cold
And made a home from what she meet
[Pre-Chorus]
When the nights got long
She stayed strong
When the ground felt thin
She still held on
[Chorus]
Habiba, you stood
You stood by us
Habiba, you stood
You stood by us
Four shops opened up
Four doors, four keys
Habiba, you built
A life for me
[Verse 2]
She fed the family first
Then reached for more with steady hands
Every scar, every curse
Could never change her plan
She learned the names, the ways
The long days and the heavy load
Still she gave us faith
Every mile along the road
[Pre-Chorus]
When the nights got long
She stayed strong
When the ground felt thin
She still held on
[Chorus]
Habiba, you stood
You stood by us
Habiba, you stood
You stood by us
Four shops opened up
Four doors, four keys
Habiba, you built
A life for me
[Bridge]
All alone, but never gone
You held the whole house in your arms
If I fall, I know your song
Still keeps me warm through all the dark
[Final Chorus]
Habiba, you stood
You stood by us
Habiba, you stood
You stood by us
Four shops opened up
Four doors, four keys
Habiba, you built
A life for me
Habiba, you stood
You stood by us
Habiba, you stood
You stood by us
Four shops opened up
Four doors, four keys
Habiba, you built
A life for me
