Intro] (
Gentle
rhythm,
melodic
clean
electric
guitar
solo,
soft
percussion)
Yeah,
yeah
Listen
to
the
rhythm
of
the
motherland
We
are
one,
let
the
music
speak
Zambia,
stand
tall
come
on
KabsT!
[Verse 1] I
look
around
the
streets
and
I
see
the
faces
I
look
around
the
streets
and
I
see
the
faces
Different
tribes,
different
homes,
different
places
But
when
the
sun
rises
over
our
emerald
land
We
are
all
holding
the
same
grain
of
sand
Why
do
we
let
the
noise
pull
us
apart?
When
we
have
the
same
steady
beat
in
our
heart
A
politician
comes
and
a
politician
goes
But
the
river
of
our
unity
forever
flows
[Chorus] Why
should
the
politics
divide
us
now?
We
are
Zambians,
we
keep
the
sacred
vow
The
leaders
are
there
because
we
say
they
lead
We
plant
the
fruit,
we
don't
plant
the
weed
One
Zambia,
one
nation,
keep
the
peace
alive
In
this
beautiful
harmony,
we
will
thrive
[Verse 2] They
talk
their
talk
on
the
radio
station
Trying
to
build
a
wall
in
our
great
nation
But
the
neighbor
next
door
is
a
brother
indeed
In
the
time
of
a
storm,
it's
the
love
that
we
need
We
choose
the
path,
we
hold
the
power
in
our
hand
To
lift
up
the
brother
who
walks
in
this
land
Don't
let
the
slogans
steal
your
gentle
smile
We
are
walking
together,
mile
after
mile
[Chorus] Why
should
the
politics
divide
us
now?
We
are
Zambians,
we
keep
the
sacred
vow
The
leaders
are
there
because
we
say
they
lead
We
plant
the
fruit,
we
don't
plant
the
weed
One
Zambia,
one
nation,
keep
the
peace
alive
In
this
beautiful
harmony,
we
will
thrive [
Bridge] (
Instrumentation
swells
with
intricate
soukous-style
guitar
licks)
It's
not
about
the
color
of
the
banner
you
hold
It's
about
the
stories
that
remain
to
be
told
By
the
people,
for
the
people,
built
on
the
trust
If
we
stay
divided,
it
turns
into
dust
Let
us
choose
unity,
let
us
choose
light
Keeping
our
vision
so
clear
and
so
bright
[Verse 3] So
let
the
drums
beat
with
a
steady
tone
We
are
never
walking
this
journey
alone
From
Lusaka
to
the
Copperbelt,
standing
as
one
Under
the
warmth
of
the
same
golden
sun
Let's
keep
it
steady,
let's
keep
it
calm
There
is
no
need
to
cause
any
alarm
We
are
the
masters
of
our
own
destiny
Living
in
peace
and
in
sweet
harmony
[Chorus] Why
should
the
politics
divide
us
now?
We
are
Zambians,
we
keep
the
sacred
vow
The
leaders
are
there
because
we
say
they
lead
We
plant
the
fruit,
we
don't
plant
the
weed
One
Zambia,
one
nation,
keep
the
peace
alive
In
this
beautiful
harmony,
we
will
thrive [
Outro] (
Music
fades
with
rhythmic
guitar
arpeggios)
One
Zambia
One
Nation
Let
love
lead
the
way
Just
keep
the
peace,
my
brother
Keep
the
peace,
my
sister
We
are
one
people
Yes,
we
are
one (
Fading
