Waiting

Listen to the voices rising from the ground
Can you feel the tremble? Can you hear the sound?
It is not a whisper, it is a desperate plea
For a change in the nation, for a better decree
We are human, we are worthy, we deserve a better day
Clear the path of corruption, clear the clouds away
We, the people of Zambia, we cry out in pain
We have suffered so long, waiting for the rain
We are tired of the hunger, we are tired of the plight
We are calling for a change, for the dawn of the light
We
are
calling
for
Mundubile,
we
are
calling
for
Makebi
Change
is
all
we
need
