This Far

1994 was the year a prince was brought to this world 

It was the year that he finally got his first glimpse of what earth looks like 

Inside his mama's womb, the vision was blurry 

Now the world is looking up to him 

With lots of expectations 

That he will make planet earth a better place 

And leave a legacy behind

 Let's not talk about legacy now 

He's just a day old 

 

Twenty one years later 

Dickson Machembe is fully grown 

He's mature enough to be independent 

Gone are the days his dad used to provide everything 

The time has come for his younger siblings to celebrate his progress 

A role model figure is what they see 

A big brother that's going to hold their hand anytime is what they expect 

Deep down, his intuition is so strong 

Philosophies guide him through every step he makes 

Perfection is for a few but he strives for excellence

 He grabs and seizes every opportunity that comes along his way 

In faith he creeps through every chain 

The finish line is visible from his point of view 

Only thing remaining is balance

 For the Most High has promised guidance and protection all day long
