    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
