The award-winning African-American singing group Sweet Honey in the Rock has made this piece popular, and they shared with the arranger the text that they learned from an African native. The translation of the original Swahili is: "We are marching in the light of God." Incorporating the popular tune Siyahamba, this arrangement features claves, shakere, and djembe as the accompaniment.
