Song Meaning

"Songa" — move forward, keep going — is the word Sifaeli Mwabuka repeats after nearly every line of this song, and it's really the whole message compressed into one command. People will criticize, gossip about your past, question whether your salvation is even real: "watasema wokovu gani wewe ulio nao" (they'll say, what kind of salvation is this you have). The song's answer each time is the same one word: songa, move on anyway.

The middle verses explain why that's possible at all — not stubbornness, but a specific memory of being found: "tulikuwa wasinzi kweli, tulikuwa waovu kweli" (we were truly foolish, truly wicked), and yet forgiven, debt paid, adopted as children of one Father. Having been rescued from something real gives the singer standing to ignore voices that deny it happened.

The closing verse gets specific about why people talk: to provoke a response, to shake your faith, to build a case against you before God. The song's final counsel is almost proverbial — "maneno yako ya kinyaa chako yanakufunga mwenyewe, heri unyamaze" (your own careless words trap you; better to stay silent) — trading the last word for the ability to keep walking.

Usiogope maneno yao hao ni wanadamu wewe songa 
Watasema yenye kukuvunja moyo wewe songa 
Ijapokuwa yanaudhi sana kaza moyo mama wewe songa 
Watasema wokovu gani wewe ulio nao wewe songa 
Watasema tunakujua sana tulikuwa tukilewa sote, wewe songa 
Maneno ya wanadamu yasikurudishe nyuma wewe songa 
Maneno ya wanadamu yasikuvunjishe moyo wewe songa  .

Akusimamie songa mbele 
Akusimamie songa mbele 
Akusimamie songa mbele 
Akusimamie songa mbele  .

Yesu alikuja kutafuta aliyepotea ni mimi na wewe 
Tulikuwa wasinzi kweli tulikuwa waovu kweli 
Tulikuwa hatueleweki machoni pa Mungu wetu  .

Alipotupata tumebalika (rudia)
Tumesamehewa dhambi zetu 
Tumelipiwa deni hatudaiwi tena 
Tunaitwa watoto wake Baba wetu ni mmoja  .

Usiogope maneno ya wanadamu usiogope  
Usiogope maneno ya wanadamu usiogope 
Heshimu neno la Mungu maana ndiyo yana uzima 
Heshimu maneno ya Mungu maana ndiyo msaada wako  .

Akusimamie songa mbele 
Akusimamie songa mbele 
Akusimamie songa mbele 
Akusimamie songa mbele  .

Wakati mwingine wanasema ili wapate sababu utawajibu nini 
Wakati mwingine wanasema ili kuharibu imani yako 
Wakati mwingine wanasema ili wapate sababu ya kukushitaki kwa Mungu ...
Maneno yako ya kinya chako yanakufunga mwenyewe heri unyamaze
