Celebrating
the
land
that
we
love
Mother
Zambia,
we
rise
today
[Verse 1] We
look
back
at
the
years,
the
struggle
we
faced
In
the
hands
of
the
ones
who
tried
to
erase
But
our
spirit
is
strong,
the
fire
still
burns
From
the
history
books,
it’
s
the
lesson
we
learn
Old
and
the
young,
standing
side
by
side
With
nothing
to
fear
and
nowhere
to
hide
[Chorus] Oh,
Mother
Zambia,
we
are
free
at
last
Leaving
behind
the
shadows
of
the
past 24
th
October,
the
day
that
we
claim
Freedom
is
glowing,
it’
s
lighting
the
flame
Free,
free,
we
are
free
Oh,
Mother
Zambia,
we
are
free
Free,
free,
we
are
free
Oh,
Mother
Zambia,
we
are
free
[Verse 2] Kasesi
teachers,

let’
s
dance
Take
to
the
floor,
take
the
perfect
chance
From
the
Zambezi,
hear
the
rhythm
ring
It’
s
a
melody
of
joy
that
the
people
sing
We
thank
you,
mother,
for
the
ground
that
we
tread
With
visions
of
glory
now
filling
our
head
[Chorus] Oh,
Mother
Zambia,
we
are
free
at
last
Leaving
behind
the
shadows
of
the
past 24
