For the ones who seek the light
For the ones who build the future
Savio spirit, we rise today
Walking through the gates where the morning sun shines bright
Dedicated teachers making wrong things feel so right
St. Dominic Savio, the path you showed is clear
We are breaking every chain, we are casting out the fear
With a book in our hand and a hope in our soul
Every marginalized youth finding back their control
Oh, we are the dreamers, we are the ones who rise
In a humane society, look into our eyes
Empowering the youth, yeah, we taking the lead
Planting every goodness like a holy seed
St. Dominic Savio, guide us on the way
Building up the future, starting here today
No more feeling small, no more staying in the shade
Look at how the foundations of the greatness are laid
From the Copperbelt roads to the corners of the land
We are holding up the truth with an open hand
Every teacher a mentor, every student a star
We don't care how rough it gets or how far we are
Oh, we are the dreamers, we are the ones who rise
In a humane society, look into our eyes

To lift up the brother who is living in a tear
Let the spirit of Savio ignite in your chest
We are working for the light, we are giving our best
(Mwaiseni, greatness is here)
So let the bell ring out across the schoolyard walls
We are standing tall whenever the darkness calls
Empowerment is key, it’s the rhythm of the heart
We are never gonna quit, yeah, we finish what we start
For the society we want, for the peace that we need
We are moving forward, yeah, we taking the lead
