The king has gone home to his ancestors.
Say goodbye to the king.
I know you had to go but
I wasn't ready my king.
You served us well, my king
I know I must be strong but
I can't help but moan for you my king.
Forgive me for crying my king.
The King has gone home to be his ancestors.
Black boys and girls have lost their super hero
Now the throne is vacant, hearts are heavy.
I wasn't prepared for the sudden farewell.
My king, thank you for leaving us pride and dignity.
My king, I thought we had a lot of time
Please forgive me my king but I am feeling cheated.
The King has gone home to his ancestors.
Even though you are no longer here
I will still serve you well my king
By carrying on your dignity.
I know the ancestors are celebrating
Welcoming you home,
Saying well done KING.
