Afrobeat
[Intro] Yeah yeah… Munguriek Aaron Musoke… This is my story, this is my journey… Sikyamanya nti nandituuse wano… But here I am! 🎶 [Verse 1] I finished secondary, I had a dream, Nnalowooza nti university, that's where I'd be. Nnagamba nti, "University y'ekifo kyange," But life had another plan for me. Sikyamanya nti nandituuse wano, Naye Katonda yandese wano. Gulu College of Health Sciences, Leero ndi wano, learning every day. [Chorus] I didn't know that I would be here, Nnalowooza nti university! Naye kati ndi wano, Era sikyakomaawo, I'm moving on. Gulu College, this is my journey, Nsomesa, ndayiga, building my future. Si ye road gye nalowooza, Naye Katonda amanyi gy'andaga. [Verse 2] Sometimes I ask, "Why am I here?" Naye munda mu mutima, I say no fear. Every lesson, every day, Kinkuba amaanyi okweyongera. Medical Laboratory Technology, That's the path that I'm following. Nnyiga science, nnyiga skills, One day I'll make my dreams real. [Bridge] Obulamu bwo journey, Tolina kumanya buli kimu. You can make your own plans, But tomorrow can change the view. Nnalowooza university, Naye Gulu College yafuuka story. Kati nkola, kati ndayiga, My future is getting brighter. [Final Chorus] I didn't know that I would be here, Nnalowooza nti university! Naye kati ndi wano, And I'm proud to continue. Gulu College, Katonda webale, Ku luno lugendo lwange. What I planned may have changed, But my dream is still the same. [Outro] Sikyamanya nti nandituuse wano… Nnalowooza nti university… Naye kati ndi Gulu College, And I'm moving forward! Munguriek Aaron Musoke… This is my journey… My dream is still alive. 🎶🔥
