Inspiration of nations
heavenly contemplations
you leave behind more than a word
you leave behind more than a song
you leave behind more then a speech
you leave a legacy we can only wish to reach
As your spirit flies high
and your soul peace above finds
Thank you to a Phenomenal Woman
Who once dared to fly
