In the heart of Africa, a leader stood tall,
Mwalimu Nyerere, revered by all.
With wisdom like rivers, and courage like the sun,
He dreamed of a nation where freedom was won.
With a voice like the wind, gentle yet strong,
He spoke of unity, where all could belong.
Through valleys of struggle, he guided the way,
A vision of peace for a brighter day.
His hands built a cradle for education’s embrace,
Teaching the children, uplifting each place.
With patience and purpose, he sowed every seed,
In the soil of a nation, he nurtured the need.
From the shores of the ocean to mountains so high,
He championed the many, he lifted the shy.
In every village, his spirit remains,
In songs of the people, in laughter, in gains.
With a heart full of kindness, and a will made of steel,
He forged a new path, with love as his wheel.
A father, a teacher, a guiding light,
Mwalimu Nyerere, our beacon at night.
So let us remember his lessons of grace,
To build a bright future, in this sacred place.
For in every endeavor, in each hand we hold,
Lives the legacy of Nyerere, a story retold.
