(Ayy, yoh)
Deep inside, the silence is loud
Searching for the sun behind this heavy cloud
Mwaiseni to the pain, yeah
You packed your bags and left the keys on the wood
I'm standing here, doing the best that I could
The streets of Lusaka, they feel so cold tonight
Used to see your face in every neon light
Was it the boza? Was it the distance we kept?
I'm tracing the memories while the whole city slept
But I never give up, even when the heart breaks
I'm learning the lessons from all these mistakes
I won't let the shadow define who I am
I'm walking through fire, I'm finding my plan
Never give up, keep the flame burning high
Even when I'm tired and I'm starting to cry
Used to dream of the future, now it's just debris
But there’s a part of the spirit that’s still setting free
I'm picking up pieces, one by one on the floor
Closing the chapter, locking the door
I thought we were solid, like the copper in the ground
But now I'm alone, just the echo of the sound
But I never give up, even when the heart breaks
I'm learning the lessons from all these mistakes
I won't let the shadow define who I am
I'm walking through fire, I'm finding my plan
Never give up, keep the flame burning high
Even when I'm tired and I'm starting to cry
I know the road is long, I know the nights are gray
But the light will eventually find its own way
No looking back now, I’m shedding the skin
Ready for the battle, ready to win
Yeah, never give up, mukwai
Just keep moving, one step at a time
It’s a long journey, but I’m still here
Ayy, yoh, we rise again
(Fade out)
