*Title: _Wings Over Lumwana_ *
**
From the red soil of North-Western ground,
A new runway lifts our hopes up high,
Barrick Lumwana, you brought us together,
Steel, sweat, and vision reaching the sky.
**
To the planes that will land, to the futures that start,
Lumwana District, you’ve got a new heart.
***_
Open the gates, let the engines roar,
Wings over Lumwana forever more!
Thank you Barrick, thank you all who built,
For a dream that turned to concrete and steel.

We thank *Mr.Mark Bristow*, CEO, for leading the way,
*Sebastiaan Bock*, COO Africa, your vision lights our day,
*Herbert Cawood*, General Manager, steady at the helm,
*Anthony Malenga*, Country Manager, proud son of this realm.

*President Mr. Hakainde Hichilema*, thank you for showing the way.
*WBHO Company Mr. Andrew Project manager, Mr.Yapi site manager, Mr.Lwwan production manager*, contractors strong and true,
To every employee who made Lumwana anew —
Your hands, your nights, your dust and your grind,
Built an airport to carry our minds.

Open the gates, let the engines roar,
Wings over Lumwana forever more!
From Solwezi to the world we’ll fly,
Under the same big Zambian sky.

Three chiefs, one people, one vision we share,
Barrick, WBHO, government care.
Every worker, every name, every stone,
Lumwana’s airport, we claim it as our own.

New airport, new journey, new time!
