[male

Drum
roll,
rhythmic
guitar
scratch)
Yeah,
yeah
Listen
up
now
Rise,
rise,
the
time
is
now
Let
the
truth
resonate
Arise,
my
people,
arise,
hear
the
call
Arise,
Ghanaians,
stand
up,
stand
tall
The
dawn
of
freedom
is
knocking
on
the
door
No
time
for
resting,
not
anymore
For
how
long
will
you
cope
with
the
pain?
Living
in
silence
while
you're
feeling
the
strain
The
deception
is
deep,
the
wounds
are
so
cold
Rejection
is
biting,
or
so
we
are
told
Wake
up,
I
say,
for
you’
ve
slumbered
enough
The
road
ahead
is
long
and
the
path
is
quite
rough
Arise,
my
people,
the
morning
is
here
Shake
off
the
shackles
and
banish
the
fear
Arise,
my
people,
let
your
voices
ring
out
This
is
the
truth
that
we’
re
singing
about
Rise
up,
stand
up,
for
the
nation
we
love
Under
the
light
of
the
heavens
above
You
turn
on
the
radio,
turn
on
the
TV
All
that
you
hear
is
the
same
melody
Promise
upon
promise,
a
cycle
of
lies
Empty
words
drifting
under
darkened
skies
They
talk
of
a
solution
to
solve
every
crisis
But
they
leave
us
in
pieces,
ignoring
our
prices
We’
re
torn
into
fragments
of
what
we
could
be
Waiting
for
justice,
waiting
to
be
free
Arise,
my
people,
the
morning
is
here
Shake
off
the
shackles
and
banish
the
fear
Arise,
my
people,
let
your
voices
ring
out
This
is
the
truth
that
we’
re
singing
about
Rise
up,
stand
up,
for
the
nation
we
love
Under
the
light
of
the
heavens
above
They
come
slip-footing
into
our
homes
at
night
In
the
name
of
a
campaign,
hiding
from
sight
Winning
your
heart
with
a
silver-tongued
play
But
when
the
sun
rises,
they’
ve
withered
away
No
more
the
deception,
no
more
the
games
We
know
the
faces,
we
know
all
the
names
It's
time
to
build
bridges,
it's
time
to
stand
firm
It's
time
for
the
people
to
make
the
real
turn
Unity
is
power,
the
fire
is
burning
bright
Turning
our
struggles
into
a
guiding
light
We
don't
need
the
empty,
we
don't
need
the
cold
We
need
the
stories
that
have
yet
to
be
told
By
us,
for
us,
in
the
land
that
we
hold
Stronger
than
silver,
richer
than
gold
Arise,
my
people,
the
morning
is
here
Shake
off
the
shackles
and
banish
the
fear
Arise,
my
people,
let
your
voices
ring
out
This
is
the
truth
that
we’
re
singing
about
Rise
up,
stand
up,
for
the
nation
we
love
Under
the
light
of
the
heavens
above
Arise,
yeah
Let
it
be
known
We
are
waking
up
Ghana,
stand
up
Freedom
is
near
Freedom
is
here
Yeah,
righteous
love (
