Lyrics:
THIS IS A PHOTOGRAPH
A WINDOW TO THE PAST
Wazazi Wangu Afrika (My parents in Africa)
Wanamshika Ana (Holding Ana)
READY TO TAKE THE WORLD ON
Chini na Juwa la Afrika (Beneath the African sun)
THE YEAR THAT YOU WERE BORN
THE YEAR THAT YOU ARE NOW
A FRIEND BEHIND THE CAMERA
HIS DAUGHTER AND HIS WIFE
GOT A GLIMMER IN HIS EYE, SEEMS TO SAY
THIS IS WHAT I'LL MISS AFTER I DIE
AND THIS IS WHAT I'LL MISS ABOUT BEING ALIVE
Mke Wangu (My wife)
Watoto Wangu (My kids)
Kanisa Wangu (My church)
Mungu Wangu (My God)
NOW TIMES THE UNDEFEATED
THE HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMP
LAKINI BABA YANGA ANA NGUVU (But my father is strong)
AS HE DANCED LIKE SUGAR RAY
USED TO BE KUYA KUYA (Come on, come on)
BUT NOW NO MAS NO MAS
AND THIS IS A PHOTOGRAPH
A WINDOW TO THE PAST
MAMA NA DADA ZAKE (My mom and her sisters)
ALIISHI ELUMBE (They lived in Elumbe)
HUKO AFRIKA (In Africa)
WALAISHI PAMOJA (They lived together)
MAMA WANGU (My mother)
MME WANGU (My husband)
WATOTA WANGU (My kids)
DADA ZANGU (My sisters)
GOT A GLIMMER IN HER EYE, SEEMS TO SAY
THIS IS WHAT I'LL MISS ABOUT BEING ALIVE
THIS IS WHAT I'LL MISS AFTER I DIE
THIS IS A PHOTOGRAPH
A WINDOW TO THE PAST
OF ME ON THE FRONT LAWN
READY TO TAKE THE WORLD ON
BENEATH THE KANSAS CITY SUN
INSIDE THE KINGDOM
GOT A GLIMMER IN MY EYE, SEEMS TO SAY
