(Chale, listen to the heartbeat of the land)
(Lord, hear the cry of your children) Come on KabsT
Oh Father God, I come before your throne
A tiny voice, but I’m not standing all alone
The shadows hover, moving o'er the land
Dark forces rising, can we even stand?
I feel the burden, heavy in my chest
Our beautiful Zambia searching for some rest
Lord, look upon us, hear our whispered plea
We’re crying out for peace to set us free
Oh Lord, fight this war for us today
Let the darkness turn and fade away
As one nation, we join our hands in prayer
Cast away the burden that we cannot bear
Oh Zambia, lift your head up to the sky
With God our protector, we will never die
We look for leaders, seeking common good
But they grab the wealth, misunderstood
We’re living poor while they build their walls
Ignoring every time the nation calls
Dear citizens, resist the bitter seed
Don’t let the evil grow from greed and need
And media, please, don’t incite the flame
We’re one people, call us by one name
Oh Lord, fight this war for us today
Let the darkness turn and fade away
As one nation, we join our hands in prayer
Cast away the burden that we cannot bear
Oh Zambia, lift your head up to the sky
With God our protector, we will never die
Being a refugee is hell and mental pain
We don’t want to see this land in rain
We only have one home, one place to stay
Maranatha, Lord, come down today! Lord Jesus come down and manifest your power dear Lord come down and manifest your power
(Oyiwa! Manifest your power, Lord)
Let peace return to every street and town
Let love be the crown that we pass around
From Lusaka to the borders, far and wide
We’ll stand together, side by side
Chop life with peace, not with hate or war
Open up the blessing, open up the door
Oh Lord, fight this war for us today
Let the darkness turn and fade away
As one nation, we join our hands in prayer
Cast away the burden that we cannot bear
Oh Zambia, lift your head up to the sky
With God our protector, we will never die
Come down, manifest your power (Eii!)
Zambia, we are one people (Yoo!)
Stay strong, keep the faith (Chale!)
Lord, we thank you, medasi.
One country, one heart, one home.
