Lyrics

[male

vocals]

[Intro] Yeah,

man

Listen

to

the

history,

listen

to

the

tale

From

the

North

to

the

South,

let

the

truth

prevail

It’

s

a

long

road,

brothers

and

sisters

Let

the

music

speak

the

mind

come

on

KabsT!

[Verse 1] Zambia,

ten

provinces

shining

in

the

sun

But

the

story

in

the

North,

it

has

only

just

begun

why

every

time

they

are

the

ones

in

front

making

accusations

on

every

President

who

occupies

State

Since

sixty-four,

when

the

flag

was

raised

high

There’

s

a

question

lingering

beneath

the

open

sky

Why

the

tension,

why

the

heavy

heart?

Why

do

brothers

drift

so

far

apart?

From

the

North,

the

whispers

turn

to

loud

decree

Questioning

the

leaders,

failing

to

see

[Chorus] Oh,

look

back

at

the

path

we

tread

Look

at

the

history,

look

at

the

bread

From

KK

to

now,

the

cycle

remains

Breaking

our

hearts

and

fueling

the

pains

Can

we

find

the

peace,

can

we

find

the

way?

Or

is

it

just

the

rhythm

of

another

day?

[Verse 2] Old

man

Kaunda,

they

called

him

Fonkofoonko

and

then

accused

him

of

stealing

from

the

poor

Zambians

ended

up

in

jail

at

Mukobeeko

Maximaam

prison

Forgot

the

free

education,

forgotten

by

men

Remember

the

morning,

the

Super

Loaf

bread

Sugar,

lyonse

tea

leaves,

condensed

milk

and

DPB

milk

we

used

to

receive

every

Sunday

morning

free

of

charge

door

to

door

the

nation

was

fed

They

called

him

a

thief

when

the

work

was

all

done

Ignoring

the

battle

that

he

surely

had

won

It’

s

a

pattern

of

the

ages,

a

heavy

melody

Why

can’

t

we

embrace

our

own

destiny?

[Chorus] Oh,

look

back

at

the

path

we

tread

Oh,

look

back

at

the

path

we

tread

Look

at

the

history,

look

at

the

bread

From

KK

to

now,

the

cycle

remains

Breaking

our

hearts

and

fueling

the

pains

Can

we

find

the

peace,

can

we

find

the

way?

Or

is

it

just

the

rhythm

of

another

day?

[Verse 3] Then

came

Fredrick

Chiluba,

who

even

sold

them

houses

costing

at 25

Kwacha

brought

aboundance

of

transport

means

community

radio

stations

across

the

nation

and

cell

phones

they

called

him

the

thief

Called

him

Kafuupi

of

a

Congole

origin

brought

him

only

grief

Mwanawasa

came,

they

called

him

chi

Cabbage

then

came

RB

who

they

nicknamed

Nyama

Soya

they

accused

him

of

being

too

corrupt,

kept

the

nation

apart.

Michael

Sata

was

nicknamed

King

Cobra,

then

the

end

came

too

fast

later

they

said

that

Edgar

Lungu

was

a

stranger,

pompwe

mushiibila

nsala

and

said

that

his

real

names

were

Jonathan

Mtawari

of

a

Zimbabwean

origin

ghost

of

the

past

And

now

they

say

the

current

one

Hichilema

is

bringing

the

storm

Straying

too

far

from

the

cultural

norm

[Bridge] Calling

them

witches,

calling

them

Satanists

Playing

the

same

old

political

games

It’

s

a

troubled

heart,

a

soul

in

distress

Why

must

we

always

settle

for

less?

Dear

brothers

and

sisters

from

the

Northern

surely

Why?

Unity

is

the

key

that

we

need

to

find

Leaving

the

bitter

accusations

behind

[Chorus] Oh,

look

back

at

the

path

we

tread

Look

at

the

history,

look

at

the

bread

From

KK

to

now,

the

cycle

remains

Breaking

our

hearts

and

fueling

the

pains

Can

we

find

the

peace,

can

we

find

the

way?

Or

is

it

just

the

rhythm

of

another

day?

[Outro] Ten

provinces,

one

nation,

one

soul

Let’

s

make

the

broken

spirit

whole

From

the

North

to

the

West,

let

the

love

flow

also

in

the

East

and

South

and

center

too!

Let

the

seeds

of

true

understanding

grow

No

more

names,

no

more

fight

Walk

into

the

morning,

walk

into

the

light

Yeah,

keep

it

steady

now

One

love,

Zambia,

one

love.

Twiikataaneee!
